Kia Telluride aftermarket wheel thread

Every tire is different. So look up the specific tire specs as they will tell you the min and max rim width.

Got them on order. I'll post pics once I have them on the ride. Thx again for the help.

What wheel and size did you decided on?

Ended up going with Niche Misano 22 x 9 on Lexani's 265/40/22.

Those are beautiful wheels. Post up some photos when you install them.

Will do. This forum is awesome. With all the pics and info this was much smoother than anticipated. Thanks to all!!

So KIA just called and said the tires rub. They cannot install and looks like I'll be doing it myself. Any tips or tricks? I'm running 22's on 265/40/22 tires.

Is it rubbing on the inside or outside?

I'll be picking it back up in an hour or so but thus far they said the inside passenger front when turning the wheel to the max

Pick up some 5mm spacers and that should fix the problem. https://www.amazon.com/5x114-3-Hubcentric-Wheel-Spacers-67-1mm/dp/B01M6UVR1X/

I'm surprised you went with 265/40. With 22" it's suggested to go down to 265/35

I kind of based it off another Telly owner and what he put on his. My dumbness assumed if it worked for him it would work for me. Live n learn.

Unless you get the same exact wheels, size, offset and tires you can't base it from another owner. Even the same tire size can vary from brand to brand. Hopefully some spacers will resolve the problem.

Makes complete sense. Definitely an oversight on my part. I tend to do things on the fly. I'll post pics once complete. definitely determined

Spacers will not solve inside rubbing... If you rub, you rub. Either get smaller tires or shave down the liner. I'm running 32" tires and they rub on the inside with or without spacers... I shaved down the liner and a bit of metal. All good now.

That's gonna be my next move. That's what Kia Service told me to do. Appreciate it.

It's difficult to know for sure where you're rubbing without seeing pictures. Sometimes spacers will work if you're rubbing against the suspension but not so much the liner.

Before shaving down the liner, you might want to try heating up the fender liner enough where you can push it back a bit to see if that helps. It's still not going to look pretty but it's better than to have a hole.

Thank you. I'll try this as well.

if you are rubbing the same area as I am. You'll have to shave down some metal. There's a stupid piece of metal protruding into the wheel well... Once you find it you'll understand how stupid it is.

Could you post pictures of your T-ride with 32" tires?
