Wheel size compatibility

Hi,

Winter is coming!

Does anyone know if a set of R235/60/r18 would fit the 3.5 SP model?

My 18s didn't clear the brakes. Some people have 18s that fit just fine.

Hum..depending on mag design. I hope mine does, It's a set I got for my previous car (acura RDX), and they still look pretty good.

It'd be shame to sell them for dirt cheap.

I had mine on a wrx. It wasn't the spokes for me, the drop center was like 1/4-1/2 inch too narrow to clear the calipers. I'm gonna sell mine for dirt cheap lol.

Fits mine just fine...

Yes...They were suggested to me by my dealer for my 3.5 Sport Plus. Their diameter is essentially identical to that of the OEM 21" set up.

Can you provide all the specs for that wheel? I have a set of 18" snow tires that may fit if the rims are the right size to clear the mono block calipers on my 2,5T Prestige.

Sure, Ill try

Genesis Halifax suggested four identical rims (18" x 8") and 235/60/18 winter tires. FYI: Their parts department offered me a complete package for ~ $3k.

Here's what I uncovered from my research for my 3.5 Sport Plus:

The wheels should should have an offset close to 39, with 39 being ideal. Additionally, the wheels need to have a five (5) bolt pattern and a 67mm hub size. Importantly, the rims need to be able to accommodate the large front brake caliper housing; the rear being somewhat smaller in size.

Wheel bolts are another consideration. Bolts must be of sufficient length so as to have eight turns of thread being in contact with the hub in order to be deemed safe. Further to, the bolt head shape (cone or rounded) must be shaped to correspond with the rim that it is mating with. Mating a cone with a round is a no-no!

Finally, recommended wheel pressure is slightly less with this winter set up than with the OEM 21" summer rim/tire. Front is 33lbs while back is 36lbs.

Please do your own due diligence as I am not a tire professional and do not want to be held responsible in any capacity.

2023 models, at least in Canada, came with the larger calipers on the back as well.

FYI: A set of four of the exact Hyundai Santa Fe rims (see my previous reply) I'm using as winter rims just came up for sale on Facebook marketplace in Bathurst, New Brunswick. From the sellers description and the associated picture, they look to be in perfect condition. The asking price is $300.00 for the set.
