Hyundai Veloster Wheels and Rims

Hyundai Veloster Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Hyundai Veloster is the 3-door asymmetric compact hatch Hyundai sold in North America from 2012 through 2022. The Veloster has the unusual passenger-side rear door layout that defines the car visually: two doors on the driver side, one door on the passenger side. The Veloster came in two generations with a one-year production gap. The 1st gen (2012-2017) launched the platform. There was no 2018 Veloster. The 2nd gen (2019-2022) returned with a refreshed body, the same asymmetric 3-door layout, and the introduction of the Veloster N performance variant. Hyundai discontinued the Veloster after the 2022 model year in North America, so the lineup is now a closed historical range. Every Veloster uses 5x114.3 with a 67.1mm hub bore and M12x1.5 lug nuts. The Veloster N is the only variant that ships with a larger front Brembo brake package, which slightly tightens the aftermarket inner-barrel clearance.

Find Your Hyundai Veloster Generation

Pick your generation to see wheels and rims that fit your specific Veloster. Both generations share the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 67.1mm hub bore. The 2nd gen Veloster N is the carve-out: the front Brembo brake package on the N variant requires more inner-barrel clearance than the base 2nd gen Veloster, so we measure it as a separate fitment row. Note the one-year gap: Hyundai did not produce a 2018 Veloster.

The Hyundai Veloster Bolt Pattern

Every Veloster, 1st gen and 2nd gen including the Veloster N, runs 5x114.3 with a 67.1mm hub bore and M12x1.5 lug nuts. Hyundai held the same hub spec across the entire Veloster lifespan. The imperial nickname for 5x114.3 is 5x4.5 because 114.3mm equals exactly 4.5 inches.

One detail that catches buyers: 5x114.3 is NOT the same as the 5x115 pattern used on some American sedans. The two patterns sit roughly 0.7mm apart and are not interchangeable. The imperial nickname 5x4.5 refers ONLY to 5x114.3. The Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger LX, and Dodge Challenger use the 5x115 pattern, and those wheels will not fit your Veloster. Stick to 5x114.3 / 5x4.5 specifically.

The 5x114.3 / 67.1mm spec on the Veloster matches the rest of the modern Hyundai Motor Group passenger lineup (Elantra, Sonata, Kona) and the modern Kia compact and mid-size sedans (Forte, K5). The wheels bolt to the same hub. Body proportion and brake clearance do not always cross between models, but the bolt pattern is consistent. Compare across the rest of the Hyundai lineup at our Hyundai wheels and rims hub.

Why the Veloster N Runs Tighter Fitment Than a Base Veloster

The Veloster N (2019-2022) is the high-performance variant Hyundai launched alongside the regular 2nd gen Veloster. The N carries the most aggressive Veloster powertrain (turbocharged 2.0L) and front Brembo brakes that are physically larger than the brakes on the base 2.0L and turbo 1.6T Velosters. The bolt pattern and hub bore stay the same across the lineup at 5x114.3 / 67.1mm. What changes on the N is the inner-barrel clearance the wheel needs to clear the front Brembo caliper. Front-larger-than-rear is the normal configuration on a performance car of the N caliber. The front axle does the majority of the braking work and Hyundai scaled the front caliper accordingly. We measure the Veloster N as a separate fitment row in our catalog because of the brake clearance change. Square (non-staggered) fitment is the factory and recommended configuration on every Veloster, including the N.

Trim level on the base Veloster (2.0L, Turbo, Turbo R-Spec, Turbo Ultimate) does not change the wheel hub spec or the brake size enough to require a separate fitment row. The Veloster N is the only variant where the brake package materially changes the aftermarket wheel inner-barrel requirement.

How We Confirm Fitment on Hyundai Veloster Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on every platform we sell wheels for, including both Veloster generations and the Veloster N. That means clearance from the wheel to the fender, gap between the back of the wheel and the suspension, brake caliper height (the Veloster N front Brembo is materially larger than the base trims), hub bore confirmation at 67.1mm, lug seat geometry for M12x1.5 nuts, turning clearance at full lock, and the asymmetric body proportion that defines the Veloster 3-door layout. At our fitment facility in Chandler, Arizona, the Element Wheels team measures directly on the physical platforms we support. We don't pull specs from manufacturer sheets the way most retailers do.

Every wheel we recommend is backed by our Fitment Guarantee. If a wheel does not fit, we pick up the wheels and refund 100 percent. No risk to you.
