The 2016 Kia Optima EX, including LX, LX 1.6T, Hybrid, Hybrid EX, and Hybrid EX Premium trims, rolls on a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a factory 16x6.5 wheel setup. At ThreePiece.us, we stock premium brands like Work Wheels, BBS, Enkei, and Gram Lights that fit your Optima perfectly. Every wheel is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states.
Upgrading your Optima's look is straightforward with compatible sizes ranging from 16 to 18 inches in diameter. Whether you prefer a aggressive 18x8 or a refined 17x6.5, our inventory includes options from Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Vors, and Black Rhino. All wheels accommodate your vehicle's 67.1mm center bore, ensuring a proper fit every time you roll.
2016 Kia Optima EX Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 2016 Kia Optima EX uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and comes stock with 16x6.5 wheels at 43mm offset. You can fit 16, 17, or 18-inch sizes; at 16 inches, choose 6.5 or 7-inch widths, while 17-inch options range from 6.5 to 8 inches, and 18-inch wheels come in 7, 7.5, or 8-inch widths. Since your Optima is not staggered, front and rear fitment remains consistent across all compatible sizes.
Only wheels with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern will mount to your Optima. The hub bore measures 67.1mm; if your wheel's center bore exceeds that, hub-centric rings are necessary to ensure proper fitment and balance. Avoid excessively wide or aggressively offset wheels, as they risk contact with fenders or suspension components during normal driving and turning.
Every wheel we offer for your Optima is verified to fit and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. ThreePiece carries Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, Vors, Black Rhino, BBS, and Gram Lights—all ready to bolt on your sedan.
