Does anyone know the wheel bolt pattern?
I have called 2 different KIA dealerships asking them to tell me what the bolt pattern is....and they promise to call back...BUT don't call back.

I was shocked to know that I am more knowledgeable about the RIO5 than the salesman (at both dealerships)

They didn't know the bolt pattern , offset or width of the wheel offhand.

I was telling them that I know the offset is ET46 and the Wheel is 15x5.5....but I JUST was seeking the ever important wheel bolt pattern.


DOES anyone know the bolt pattern for the stock RIO or RIO5?

If it is the same as the Spectra/Spectra 5 (4x114.3 bolt pattern) then...when I trade my Spectra5 in...I can take off my multispoke rims and install them on my new RIO5.

OR

If the RIO/RIO5 are still using the more common 4x100 bolt pattern...I can use my extra BMW 325i wheels on the RIO5 (84-91 BMW 3series uses 4x100)
I have 2 sets of 14's , 1 set of 15's and 1 set of 16's I could use in this scenario.

EITHER way I can't go wrong.

I just want to clear things up...so I can be prepared to make the proper adjustments.
(I'd trade the Spectra5 with both sets of rims if the RIO5 isn not 4x114.3)

I'm hoping that I can find out this information soon
