Kia Cadenza Wheels and Rims

Kia Cadenza Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Kia Cadenza was a full-size front-wheel-drive sedan sold in the United States from the 2014 model year through 2020, slotted between the mid-size Optima and the flagship rear-wheel-drive K900. Element Wheels measures both Cadenza generations: the 1st gen VG (2014-2016) and the 2nd gen YG (2017-2020). Bolt pattern is 5x114.3 with a 67.1mm hub bore and a 12x1.5 lug thread on every Cadenza in our catalog. The Cadenza is a square (non-staggered) fitment with matched front and rear wheel widths and no factory stagger to respect, which is the front-wheel-drive transverse layout doing its job. Kia discontinued the Cadenza in the United States after the 2020 model year. Pick your generation below for the fitment specs that apply to your specific Cadenza.

Find Your Kia Cadenza Generation

Pick your generation to see wheels and rims that fit your specific Cadenza. The 1st gen VG ran 2014-2016 in the United States, the 2nd gen YG ran 2017-2020. Both generations use the same 5x114.3 / 67.1mm bolt pattern, but the overall fitment window is measured separately per generation.

The Kia Cadenza Bolt Pattern

Every Kia Cadenza in our catalog uses 5x114.3 with a 67.1mm hub bore and a 12x1.5 lug thread. The imperial nickname for 5x114.3 is 5x4.5, since 114.3mm equals exactly 4.5 inches. That pattern is the modern Hyundai-Kia midsize and large front-wheel-drive sedan standard. The 1st gen Cadenza VG (2014-2016) was built on the same architecture as the period Hyundai Azera, and the 2nd gen Cadenza YG (2017-2020) was built on the same architecture as the Hyundai Grandeur IG. Bolt pattern carried unchanged across the 2017 redesign.

Worth flagging because we see it confuse buyers. 5x114.3 is NOT the same as 5x115. The two patterns sit about 0.7mm apart on the hub circle and a wheel built for one will not properly seat on the other. The 5x4.5 imperial nickname refers to 5x114.3 only. The 5x115 pattern used on the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Cadillac CTS will not fit a Cadenza. Stick to 5x114.3 / 5x4.5 specifically.

Kia discontinued the Cadenza in the United States after the 2020 model year. The car was Kia's full-size front-wheel-drive sedan, sitting between the Optima mid-size and the K900 flagship in the US lineup. There is no direct successor in the Kia US sedan lineup.

Why the Kia Cadenza Is a Square Fitment

The Cadenza is a square (non-staggered) fitment across both generations. Front and rear wheel widths match in our catalog, and there is no factory stagger to respect. The Cadenza is a front-wheel-drive sedan with a transverse engine layout. Staggered fitment is not appropriate on a transverse front-wheel-drive car because the wider rear with no drivetrain involvement creates a turning-circle and ride-quality mismatch without any of the traction benefit a rear-wheel-drive stagger provides. The square setup is the right answer on the Cadenza. The same wheel spec works on all four corners, which keeps tire rotation straightforward.

Brake hardware on the Cadenza is similar front and rear by Element's measurement; we have not flagged a separate front-larger-than-rear brake clearance check on this car the way we do on the K900 flagship or the K5 GT performance trim. The Cadenza front caliper clears typical aftermarket wheel designs in our window without issue.

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.

How We Confirm Fitment on Kia Cadenza Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including both Cadenza generations. For the Cadenza that means clearance from the wheel to the fender, gap between the back of the wheel and the front suspension, brake caliper height, hub bore confirmation on the 67.1mm hub, lug seat geometry across the 12x1.5 thread pitch, and turning clearance at full lock. 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.
