How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Because an SUV's center of gravity is already higher than a sedan's, anything added at the corners — including wheel weight — has an outsized effect on handling balance. A forged wheel lets us hit the visual stance owners want without adding the rotational mass a cast wheel of the same strength would carry.
The Hyundai Tucson V6 ships from the factory on a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 67.1mm center bore and a 16x6.5J ET45 wheel. Our flush reference for the Hyundai Tucson V6 is 18x8J ET38.; our maximum aggressive reference is 19x8.5J ET35. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Hyundai Tucson V6 OE Wheel Specs
The Hyundai Tucson V6 ships from the factory on 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheels with a 67.1mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 16x6.5J ET45, offering a balanced ride that suits most owners without any rubbing or clearance concerns.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with steering response and highway efficiency.
- Wide tire and wheel availability at the factory diameter keeps replacement costs low.
- Lower unsprung weight than larger aftermarket wheels helps ride quality and acceleration.
- Guaranteed clearance against brake calipers and suspension components.
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Hyundai Tucson V6 (2005) we drill the 5x114.3 pattern and cut the centre bore to 67.1mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.

Offset and Backspacing: Factory Wheel vs Options
Backspacing ≈ width/2 + ET/25.4 + 0.5 in. "Inward" means closer to the suspension; "outward" means closer to the fender lip.
| Setup | Size | ET | Backspacing | Inward vs OE | Outward vs OE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory (OE) | 16x6.5J | ET45 | 5.52 in (140 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 18x8J | ET38 | 6.00 in (152 mm) | +12 mm | +26 mm |
| Maximum | 19x8.5J | ET35 | 6.13 in (156 mm) | +15 mm | +35 mm |
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Hyundai Tucson V6 (5x114.3, 67.1 mm Bore)
In our database, 456 other vehicle entries from 30 makes use exactly the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 67.1 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x114.3 is used by 20.0% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (1,300 of 6,503); 35.2% of those also use a 67.1 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 67.1 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 67.1 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 70.1 mm | 70.1 → 67.1 mm |
| 70.5 mm | 70.5 → 67.1 mm |
| 71.6 mm | 71.6 → 67.1 mm |
| 72.6 mm | 72.6 → 67.1 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 67.1 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 67.1 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Hyundai Tucson V6 use?
The 2005 Hyundai Tucson V6 uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Hyundai Tucson V6 use?
The Hyundai Tucson V6 uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x114.3), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Hyundai Tucson V6?
The Hyundai Tucson V6's center bore is 67.1mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Hyundai Tucson V6?
Factory wheels on the Hyundai Tucson V6 are 16x6.5J ET45.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Hyundai Tucson V6?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 18x8J at ET38 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Hyundai Tucson V6.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Hyundai Tucson V6?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Hyundai Tucson V6?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 6" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Hyundai Tucson V6?
The Hyundai Tucson V6 runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
