Kia Soul wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Kia Soul wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Kia E-Soul (Iii) SK3.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x114.3 |
| Centre bore | 67.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | direct |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 7J–8.5J | ET35–ET50 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
