In the 2012 Kia Optima, various tires and wheels are used, but they all share the same 5 X114.3 bolt pattern and 67.1mm center bore. However, don't assume that these parts are interchangeable for all trim levels. You must identify your trim level to determine the appropriate tires and wheels needed. The LX trim has the smallest tires, P205/65R16 on 16-inch rims, while the EX and EX Turbo models feature P215/55R17 tires on 17-inch rims. The upscale SX trim showcases P225/45R18 tires on 18-inch wheels. Wheel width ranges from 6.5 inches to 7.5 inches, so it's crucial to match all four wheels and tires for optimal performance.
The wheel bolt pattern for the 2012 Kia Optima is defined as 5 lugs with a spacing of 4.5 inches or 114.3 millimeters. It has a high positive offset designed by the manufacturer.
