Title: i30 2012 GD wheel spec
Post by: rickai on September 21, 2012, 18:00:00

Hi Guys, just wondering if anyone know the wheel specs for the i30 crdi 2012 (GD). Mainly cos i'm considering getting aftermarket rims. I'm only looking at 16 or 17 inch wheels. I've previous read in this forum with wheels specs for the FD i30 but not sure if they're the same. So far I know (or assumed):

wheel width (max): 17 x 8 inch, 16 x 6.5 inch
PCD: 5x114.3
Centerbore: 67.1mm
offset: +35 to +50

My 2011 i30 Trophy came with 16 inch alloys, those dark ones, what do they call them? Titanium or Gunmetal? :eek:  Don't know if 17 inch willl fit the i30.

Pretty certain you need spacers to reduce the lock because 17" rim fouls something.  :undecided:

Am looking at getting a set of lock nuts for my GD
