Renault Kwid Bolt Pattern, Wheel & Tire Sizes
TL;DR
Petrol Kwid (Brazil/LatAm): 3x100 mm bolt pattern, 60.1 mm centre bore, M12x1.5 studs. Kwid E-Tech electric: 4x100 mm instead. Always confirm on your own vehicle before buying wheels.
Which Kwid this guide covers
This page focuses on the Brazil / Latin-American market Renault Kwid hatchback, sold locally since 2017 (a heavily revised version of the original 2015 global Kwid), with a facelift introduced in 2022. Wheel and tire hardware can differ from the India-market Kwid, so treat figures below as applying to the Brazil/LatAm petrol lineup unless noted.
The unusual 3-bolt wheel
Unlike almost every modern car, the petrol Renault Kwid sold in Brazil uses only three wheel bolts instead of the usual four, arranged on a 3x100 mm bolt circle. This has been widely reported by Brazilian outlets (Quatro Rodas, VRUM, Localiza) as a deliberate cost and weight-saving design, similar in concept to older 3-lug small cars such as the Smart Fortwo. Reports covering the car through 2024-2025 describe the petrol Kwid as still using this 3-bolt setup.
The electric Kwid E-Tech is different
The battery-electric Kwid E-Tech is heavier and has more torque than the petrol version, and multiple sources confirm Renault moved it to a conventional 4x100 mm bolt pattern with four studs. Centre bore (60.1 mm) and stud thread (M12x1.5) are reported the same for both the 3-bolt and 4-bolt versions.
Centre bore, stud thread and tire sizes
Wheel-fitment databases list a 60.1 mm centre bore and M12x1.5 stud thread for both variants. Factory tire/rim combinations recorded for the petrol hatchback range from 13-inch to 15-inch wheels depending on trim and engine (0.8 or 1.0 SCe), most commonly 4.5J rims with an offset around ET37.
Data table
| Generation / years | Bolt pattern | Centre bore | Stud thread | Stock wheel sizes | Common tire sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol Kwid, Brazil/LatAm, 1st gen (2017-2021) | 3x100 mm (3 lugs) | 60.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 13-15 in, 4.5J, ET~37 | 155/80R13, 165/70R14 |
| Petrol Kwid, Brazil/LatAm facelift (2022-present) | 3x100 mm (3 lugs), per 2022-2025 press coverage | 60.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 14-15 in, 4.5J, ET~37 | 165/70R14, 165/65R15 |
| Kwid E-Tech electric (Brazil, from ~2023) | 4x100 mm (4 lugs) | 60.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 14-15 in (typical EV trim) | 165/70R14, 165/65R15 (unconfirmed for this trim - verify on your car) |
Always verify on your own car before buying wheels or tires. The authoritative source is your vehicle, not a database: check the driver-door B-pillar placard, the tire-and-loading information label (sometimes on the fuel-filler flap or glovebox), the markings stamped on your current wheels/tires, and your owner's manual. If in doubt, count the studs on your own wheel - 3-bolt and 4-bolt Kwid wheels are not interchangeable.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Renault Kwid really have only 3 wheel bolts?
For the petrol version sold in Brazil and Latin America since 2017, yes - multiple Brazilian automotive outlets confirm a 3-bolt wheel design on a 3x100 mm bolt circle, a deliberate cost and weight-saving choice rather than a defect.
Is the bolt pattern the same on the electric Kwid E-Tech?
No. Because the electric Kwid E-Tech is heavier and has more torque, sources report Renault gave it a conventional 4x100 mm, 4-lug wheel instead of the 3-bolt petrol design.
What centre bore and stud thread does the Kwid use?
Wheel-fitment databases list 60.1 mm centre bore and M12x1.5 stud thread for both the 3-lug petrol and 4-lug electric versions, though you should confirm this against your own vehicle or a wheel professional before fitting aftermarket wheels.
Where can I find the exact wheel specs for my specific Kwid?
Check the placard on the driver-side door jamb, the tire/loading label (often on the fuel flap or inside the glovebox), the stampings on your current wheels and tires, and your owner's manual - these reflect your exact trim and are more reliable than any generic online database.
