Kia Soul Wheels and Rims

Kia Soul Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Kia Soul is the boxy compact hatch and crossover that has been in production in the United States since the 2010 model year. Element Wheels measures fitment across the three generations Kia has produced. The 1st gen AM (2010-2013), the 2nd gen PS (2014-2019), and the current 3rd gen SK3 (2020 and up) all share the same bolt pattern and hub bore: 5x114.3 with a 67.1mm hub bore. The Soul is a square-fitment car at every trim and every generation. Trim variations like GT-Line do not change the bolt pattern, hub bore, or aftermarket fitment box. The Soul EV (current generation) shares the same wheel spec as the gasoline Soul. Pick your generation below and the right fitment specs follow.

Find Your Kia Soul Generation

Pick your generation to see wheels and rims that fit your specific Soul. The bolt pattern (5x114.3) and hub bore (67.1mm) have stayed constant across the AM, PS, and SK3 generations. What changes by generation is the aftermarket diameter window: smaller wheels on the earliest AM, up to 20 inch on the current SK3.

The Kia Soul Bolt Pattern

Every Kia Soul in our catalog runs 5x114.3 with a 67.1mm hub bore. That covers the 1st gen AM (2010-2013), the 2nd gen PS (2014-2019), and the current 3rd gen SK3 (2020 and up). The 5x114.3 pattern is also written as 5x4.5 in imperial; 5x4.5 refers ONLY to 5x114.3 (114.3mm equals 4.5 inches exactly). It does NOT refer to 5x115, which is a different bolt pattern used on American sedans like the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Challenger, and Cadillac CTS. The two patterns sit about 0.7mm apart and are not interchangeable. A 5x115 wheel will not bolt onto a Soul.

The 67.1mm hub bore is the Hyundai-Kia standard. Other 5x114.3 vehicles in the Hyundai-Kia family (Kia Forte, Kia Sportage, Kia K5, Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Tucson, and others) all run 5x114.3 / 67.1mm, so wheels listed for those vehicles bolt to the Soul. What does not always cross is the offset window and brake clearance, which we measure on each car separately. The Soul is a standalone Kia platform; it is not same-chassis with any Hyundai model in the way the Sorento is paired with the Santa Fe or the K5 is paired with the Sonata.

Soul Trim and Powertrain: Same Fitment Across the Lineup

The Soul ships in several trims on the current SK3 generation (LX, S, GT-Line, EX, Turbo on earlier years, and the X-Line on recent model years). All of those trims share the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern, 67.1mm hub bore, brake package, and aftermarket fitment box. The GT-Line is a styling and feature package, not a brake or hardware change on the SK3. The earlier Soul Turbo (PS generation) also did not change the bolt pattern or hub bore from the base Soul; it shares the same wheel fitment as the regular PS. The Soul EV, where it is offered, runs the same 5x114.3 / 67.1mm spec and the same aftermarket fitment box as the gasoline Soul of the same generation.

Every Soul we measure runs square (same width front and rear). That is consistent with how Kia engineered the platform: even traction at all four corners, no staggered performance bias. Aftermarket Soul buyers commonly stay square because the chassis is set up for it; running a stagger on a Soul would not give the same upside it gives on a rear-drive sport sedan.

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 Soul Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including every modern Soul generation back to the 1st gen AM. For the Soul that means clearance from the wheel to the fender, gap between the back of the wheel and the suspension, brake caliper height, hub bore confirmation on the 67.1mm Hyundai-Kia hub, lug stud height, and turning clearance at full lock with the wheel and tire installed. 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.
