The 1988 Hyundai Excel Base, GL, and GLS models all roll on 4x114.3 bolt pattern wheels, maintaining a unified fitment across the lineup. Your Excel came from the factory with 13x4.5 wheels, and we stock verified replacements from industry-leading brands like Work Wheels, Enkei, SSR Wheels, and Rotiform that bolt on perfectly every time.
Upgrading is straightforward with nine compatible sizes ranging from 13x4.5 up to 17x7. Every wheel we offer for your Excel is verified to fit before it ships, and you'll receive free shipping throughout the lower 48 states. Whether you're staying modest or going bold with a larger diameter, ThreePiece.us has the right setup waiting.
1988 Hyundai Excel Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1988 Hyundai Excel comes stock with 13x4.5 wheels at a 46mm offset on a 4x114.3 bolt pattern. You can step up through 13x5, 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, 15x7, 16x7, and 17x7 sizes while staying compatible. Since your Excel runs square fitment all around, you'll choose a single setup rather than staggering front and rear.
Pay close attention to the 4x114.3 bolt pattern—that's your only option for fitment. Your hub-centric bore measures 67.1mm, so if you select a wheel with a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Pushing too wide in width or aggressive on offset risks contact with fenders and suspension components, so verify your chosen size doesn't extend beyond safe clearance.
Every wheel we list bolts straight onto your Excel and ships free across the lower 48 states. Work Wheels, Enkei, SSR Wheels, and Rotiform all have options in stock and ready to ship.
