Hyundai Kona Bolt Pattern, Wheel & Tire Sizes
TL;DR
Every Hyundai Kona built so far (2018-2026) uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, 67.1 mm center bore and M12x1.5 studs; only the wheel diameter (16 to 19 inches) and tire size change by trim.
Hyundai Kona wheel bolt pattern and center bore
Based on data cross-checked across multiple wheel-fitment databases, the Hyundai Kona has used the same 5x114.3 mm (5x4.5 in) bolt pattern with a 67.1 mm center bore and M12x1.5 stud thread through both generations produced so far. This is a very common Hyundai/Kia group pattern, shared with the Elantra, Tucson and Sportage.
Wheel and tire sizes by trim
Base trims ride on 16-inch wheels with 205/60R16 tires, while higher trims step up to 17 and 18-inch wheels with lower-profile rubber. The performance Kona N (2022-2023, first generation) runs 19-inch wheels with 235/40R19 or 265/35R19 tires depending on source and market, so treat the N's exact tire size as trim-specific and confirm on the tire sidewall or door placard.
Always confirm on your own vehicle
Wheel and tire fitment can vary by trim, market and model year, and manufacturers occasionally run mid-cycle changes. Before buying wheels, tires, or spacers, verify the exact specification for your specific car using one or more of these authoritative sources:
- The driver's door jamb placard (tire size, load rating, and recommended pressure)
- The owner's manual (wheel and tire specifications section)
- The markings stamped on your current wheels and tire sidewalls
- Hyundai's official parts/wheel catalogue for your exact model year and trim

Frequently asked questions
Does the Hyundai Kona bolt pattern change between generations?
No - both the first-generation Kona (OS, 2018-2023) and the second-generation Kona (SX2, 2024-present) use the same 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern with a 67.1 mm center bore, based on data checked across multiple fitment databases. This makes the Kona more consistent than some other SUVs whose bolt pattern changed at a generation switch.
What size wheels does the Hyundai Kona N use?
The performance Kona N (2022-2023) is fitted with 19-inch wheels, though the exact tire size quoted varies by source (235/40R19 or 265/35R19 have both been reported). Check the sidewall of your tires or your door placard to confirm the exact size for your specific car.
What thread size are the Hyundai Kona's wheel studs?
The commonly reported stud thread for the first-generation Kona is M12x1.5, which is standard across most Hyundai passenger models. Always confirm with a thread gauge or your dealer's parts department before ordering lug nuts or aftermarket studs.
Where can I find the exact wheel specs for my Hyundai Kona?
The most reliable sources are the placard on the driver's door jamb (tire size and pressure), your owner's manual's wheel and tire section, the markings already stamped into your wheels and tire sidewalls, and Hyundai's official parts catalogue for your exact trim and model year.
