If non-standard wheels are installed on your car, this can lead to friction and increased wear. Therefore, it is worth adhering to factory standards. Therefore, the correct selection of wheels is an important element.
Wheel looseness
Different wheels have been used on Kia Rio in different generations. Usually this information is indicated in the service book or technical documents of the car. Also, on each vehicle there is a sign that says which wheels and tires are suitable.
Characteristics
Let's look at the wheel bolt pattern for the Kia Rio according to the manufacturer's data by year of manufacture and generation:

Conclusion
As you can see, quite a lot of tires and wheels are suitable for Rio, and therefore the car enthusiast can choose what he likes. You can install both simple stamped discs and cast ones.
Many Kia Sorento owners are wondering - what is the bolt pattern of the rims and wheels of their car? Usually, a similar question is asked when it is necessary to find out the parameters of factory wheels, and there is also the opportunity to tune the suspension.
Purpose of wheel bolt pattern
Wheel bolt pattern - the distance between the hub bolts and the number of bolt connections to which the disc is attached. The parameter is designed to fit wheel rims to the hub. If the bolt pattern is not selected correctly, then it will be impossible to put the wheel on the mounting bolts and, accordingly, to screw it on.

Factory bolt pattern
Throughout the history of production, the Kia Sorento has been assembled in different configurations. This directly affected the selection of wheels, and, accordingly, the bolt pattern. Depending on the configuration and year of manufacture of the vehicle, the Ford Fusion was equipped with the appropriate manufacturer's standards.
So, let's look at the wheel bolt pattern table for the Ford Fusion, taking into account the configuration and year of manufacture:

The standard bolt pattern is 5×139.7, while the wheel diameter is 16 inches. The width of the used discs is from 7.0j to 8.0j. Quite similar parameters can be found in the Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V.
Wheel specifications.
Not a standard bolt pattern
The non-standard wheel bolt pattern of the Kia Sorento is used when tuning the car’s suspension. To change the bolt space you will have to make sacrifices and change all four hubs on the vehicle. This will of course cost the owner a pretty penny.
Conclusion
The size and bolt pattern of the wheels on the Ford Fusion is PCD 5×139.7, while the wheel diameter is 16 inches. The width of the disks that are used is from 7.0j to 8.0j. To install non-standard and non-standard wheels, for example, for tuning, you will have to change all four hubs.
Drivers who decide to replace wheels need to accurately calculate the ratio of mounting bolts to rim diameter. You can measure the ratio yourself (using a special device) or use ready-made data for a specific model.
Indicators that influence the correct installation of the wheel:
- Number of incisors (LZ);
- Distance between holes;
- Diameter of the arc on which they are located (PCD);
- Diameter of the central window (DIA);
- Departure (ET).
What is disc bolt pattern?
The bolt pattern is determined by the ratio of the bolts that secure the discs to the full diameter of the circle. According to the standard, the ratio of 5 to 112 is considered normal. Accordingly, the first number is the indicator of the bolts, and the second is the wheels where the bolts are attached. For each individual car, it is customary to calculate the bolt pattern separately, taking into account the number of bolts, diameter and other factors.
To perform calculations you need to know the wheel sizes. Disks can be classified according to the following criteria:
- Rim width (ensures reliable support).
- Departure (or ET).
Bolt pattern on Kia Rio 1
The first Kia model became very popular due to its ease of operation, durability, and increased comfort. Kia Rio is less popular than models of the 2nd and 3rd generations, but is still sometimes found on Russian roads.
To transform your Kia Rio, you can replace the outdated wheels with a set of new ones, or follow the unconventional path and purchase tires with a larger diameter and a different design. The car will look much more impressive and brighter. When choosing new “shoes” for Kia, pay attention to the following indicators:
- Rim size;
- Bolt pattern;
- Departure.
Kia Rio I models have one thing in common, regardless of the year of manufacture - a bolt pattern of 4 to 100.
4 x 98 wheels for Kia Rio 1 are much less common on sale. To accurately determine the diameter, you should look at the operating instructions that came with the machine. Minimal discrepancies can lead to technical problems and also increased fuel consumption.
Models released between 2000 and 2005 have a circumference of at least 15-16. For some car options, drivers purchase 17 diameter, but always in combination with a low-profile tire.
The hole in diameter should not exceed 54.1 mm.
Bolt pattern on Kia Rio 2
The bolt pattern of 2nd generation models, produced from 2005 to 2011, is typical for Kia.
The factory wheel width ranges from 5.0 to 6.5.
DIA does not change - 54.1 mm.
Bolt pattern on Kia Rio 3
The discs of the 3rd generation model are equipped with special markings to make it easier for the consumer to find the right option. For example, on modifications 2013 – 2014. the following inscription is found: “6J R15 PSD 4x100 ET48 DIA54.1”. The user immediately understands that the width of the disk is 6 inches and the radius is 15. The second block indicates the European standard, which determines the number of bolts and the size of the circle itself.
The Kia Rio 3's bolt pattern is almost the same as that of Kia models of other generations. Year of production 2012 – 2016.
Disc sizes range from 14 x 5.5 to 17 x 5.5.
The ratio of fasteners to the circumference is the same - 4 to 100.
ET ranges from 40 to 50.
Bolt size – 12 x 1.5.
Bolt pattern on Kia Rio 4
4th generation models are the latest. Year of release: 2017-2018.
Tire markings are as follows:
- 6Jx15 PCD 4x100 ET48 DIA54.1
- 6Jx16 PCD 4x100 ET52 DIA54.1
Let's try to decipher the markings:
- Tire circumference – 15-16.
- The diameter of the central hole, like that of its “brothers”, is 54.1 mm.
- Thread or fastener – 12 x 1.5.
- Standard offset is from 48 to 52.
- “Sverlovka” has not changed – 4 per 100.
The bolt pattern on the Kia Rio should not differ much from the one the car received at the factory. It is important to remember that there should be 4 bolts on a 100mm circle. Any other proportion is unacceptable.
Conclusion
Kia Rio models of all generations have the same bolt pattern, as well as the diameter of the central hole. Wheel sizes and offsets vary. The number of holes and bolts also depends on the generation.
Almost the entire model range of Kia cars is incredibly popular among drivers both in our country and around the world. Kia cars offer convenience and reliable performance. But even on cars of this brand, for various reasons, sometimes you have to change the wheels. The article will talk about the features of replacing wheels and bolt patterns on Kia Rio cars and other cars in the Kia model range.
The Kia Rio car is the most popular and widespread model among the entire Kia line. Rio owners change wheels when damaged, as they wear out, and also replace factory stamped wheels with cast ones of their choice. To do this, you always need to know the exact data on the wheel bolt pattern of the model and other parameters of its chassis.
Kia Rio bolt pattern
When the wheels are loose on a Kia Rio, as on any other car, drivers need to accurately calculate the ratio of the mounting bolts to the rim diameter. This can be measured independently (using a special device) or using ready-made data from the model.
On a note.
The Kia Rio bolt pattern, regardless of the year of manufacture of the car, has the same value: 4 per 100, that is, 4 mounting holes and 100 - the diameter (in mm) of their location relative to the axis of rotation of the wheel. Models from different years of production differ only in wheel sizes and offset dimensions.
Bolt pattern on Kia Rio 1
Thanks to ease of control, durability and comfort, the first generation Kia Rio became incredibly popular. The demand for the model decreased with the advent of subsequent generations of Rio, but meanwhile, it is also common on domestic roads.
All generations of Kia Rio have a single bolt pattern of 4 by 100. A bolt pattern of 4 by 98 is very rare. You can find out more about the parameters in the car’s operating instructions. The disc offset or ET on this modification is from 32 to 40 mm. The hole in diameter is no more than 54.1 mm. The disc diameter on the first model is 15-16 inches.

Second-generation models, produced from 2005 to 2011, have a typical Kia bolt pattern.
They differ only in the width and diameter of the disk: the factory one has a width from 5.0 to 6.5. The disc diameter ranges from 14 to 16 inches.
Bolt pattern on Kia Rio 3
With the release of the third generation, Kia took care of car owners. For third-generation models, the discs have special markings indicating all the data.
On the 2013-2014 modifications there is the inscription “6J R15 PCD 4x100 ET48 DIA54.1”. The disc width is 6 inches, and the radius is 15. The bolt pattern is 4 to 100, the disc offset is 48, the hole diameter is 54.1. The Kia Rio 3's bolt pattern is almost the same as that of other generations. The model was produced from 2012 to 2016. The wheel sizes for the third generation Kia Rio model range from 14 x 5.5 to 17 x 5.5.
What is the wheel bolt pattern on KIA cars?
Other representatives of the Kia model range (Ceed, Sorento, Soul and Sportage models) also have their own specific wheel bolt patterns. On some models, it often depends on the year of manufacture of the car or its generation. Below we will look at bolt patterns for the most common Kia models on domestic roads.
Kia Sid 2008
On a note.
The 2008 Kia Ceed is the first batch of production cars of this model. Immediately after leaving the production line on the market, they fell in love with drivers all over the world. Kiya Sid bolt patterns vary depending on the year of their manufacture.
The first Kia Ceed has a bolt pattern of 5×114.3. The hole diameter in all modifications is 67.1 mm. Overhangs in the factory setting are 47 mm, 51 and 56 are also acceptable.
The model was produced with two wheel diameters:
- R15 with 195/65 tires, wheel offset 47 mm, wheel size – 15x5.5.
- R16 with 205/55 tires, wheel offset 51 mm, size – 16x6.5.
Kia Ceed bolt pattern Drivers often change the wheels on this model instead of the standard factory ones, installing alloy wheels of an interesting design with a suitable size and bolt pattern.
When replacing wheel rims, you need to know the exact details of the Kia Sid bolt pattern, the year of its manufacture and check the data in the technical documents of the car.
"Kia Sportage 3"
The third-generation compact urban crossover from Kia was produced from 2010 to 2015; this Sportage modification is still loved by many drivers. Replacing wheel elements is common after purchase to remove stamped wheels from the factory to purchased cast or forged ones.
When replacing wheels and tires on a Kia Sportage 3, it is recommended to adhere to the manufacturer’s standard dimensions:
| Discs | Tires |
| 6.5Jx16, ET 31.5, DIA 67.1, PCD 5x114.3 | 215/70/R16 |

"Kia Cerato"
The Kia Cerato bolt pattern is considered depending on the year of manufacture of the vehicle.
This mid-range car from Kia has been produced since 2004 to this day, having already reached its fourth generation. The sedan is also incredibly popular with Kia, having outlived its replacement, the Ceed.
Kia Ceed Each generation of the Kia Cerato car, depending on the year in which the car was produced, has its own type of bolt pattern:
- Kia Cerato 1 (LD) (2003-2008) has a bolt pattern (PCD) of 4×114.3, offset (ET) - 43-43 mm, central hole diameter (DIA) - 67.1 mm, attached to the hub with M12 x 1.5 threaded nuts;
- Kia Cerato 2 (TD) (2008-2013) has a bolt pattern (PCD) of 5×114.3, with an offset (ET) of 41-50 mm, a central hole diameter (DIA) of 67.1 mm, secured to the hub with M12 x 1.5 threaded nuts ;

On a note.
Also, depending on the year of manufacture inside the modification and the size of the disks, the bolt pattern may differ.
Hub on a Kia Ceed Tire size for Kia Sorento
The Kia Sorento is another mid-size crossover from Kia.
The rubber on it changes as the seasons change, as the tires wear out, or as you switch to another tire model. Depending on the region where the vehicle is used, weather and natural conditions, it is worth choosing the type of tires to be used - all-season, summer, winter.
Winter tires are also selected depending on natural and weather conditions, and the roads on which you will drive. Winter studded tires are perfect for highways, ice and snow slush on the roads; for city conditions, friction Velcro tires will be more convenient.
Drilling Kia Sorrento How to choose the right size
To choose the right tires for the Kia Sorrento, you need to choose the right tire size.
In the factory configuration, the manufacturer sets the standard size 235/65 R17. In addition, it is possible to install larger diameter tires on the Sorrento: R18 and R19. This can only be done in the summer season.
Friction and studded winter tires on the Kia Sorento are best used according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Considering that the tire size recommended by the manufacturer (R 17) is quite common, it is always possible to get the required tire size. This size is usually always available at tire dealers' outlets.
Tires for Kia Sorento Attention!
When choosing a tire size, you need to know exactly the parameters suitable for a given car.
All Kia Sorento models have a bolt pattern of 5x139.7.
Another important point when choosing the right tire size is purchasing original tires. This is explained by the fact that replicas and fakes sold on the market often do not have the quality declared by the manufacturer, and the dimensions may also not be suitable. It is important to buy tires from an authorized dealer.

Drilling Kia Soul In other words, different wheels were used in different generations. This information can be clarified in the service book or technical documents of the car. When changing wheels, rims and tires, be sure to check these numbers.
The wheel hubs of different Kia models in different years of production differ in bolt pattern sizes. It is necessary to change tires, wheels and wheels on a Kia based on these data.
Kia Rio cars have been in constant demand and popularity among Russian car enthusiasts for more than fifteen years. Thanks to the manufacturer's affordable pricing policy, good technical characteristics and attractive appearance, there are even queues of buyers at Kia car dealerships in our country who want to become Rio owners.
It is not surprising that every Kia Rio owner wants to distinguish his car from thousands of others. The easiest way to do this is to replace the standard disks.
How to determine the parameters of Kia Rio wheels
When choosing new wheels for your Rio, first of all you need to pay attention not to their appearance, but to the parameters that they must meet. In principle, there is nothing complicated here, since all disks have standard markings. So, for example, Kia Rio cars of 2013-2016 have wheels in the database, whose markings are as follows: 6J (disk width) R15 (disc diameter) PCD 4x100 (number of holes, the diameter of the circle around which their centers are located) ET48 (disc offset, mm) DIA54.1.
Wheel bolt pattern
Even a novice driver can determine the bolt pattern of standard Kia Rio wheels. All Rio models have 4 of them. You can measure the center-to-center distance of the holes using a caliper. Next, simple calculations are carried out that allow us to obtain the PCD parameter, which is actually called the bolt pattern.
