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
A minivan's wheel spec has to work across a wide load range — empty commute or full family trip. Forged construction preserves the factory's load-rating margin while cutting rotational weight, which keeps ride quality consistent across that range.
The Kia Grand VQ-R runs a 6x139.7 bolt pattern, 92.3mm center bore, and a 17x6.5J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 18x8.0J ET35, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Kia Grand VQ-R. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 19x8.5J ET30 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Kia Grand VQ-R OE Wheel Specs
The 2012 Kia Grand VQ-R (Minivan) uses a 6x139.7 bolt pattern with a 92.3mm center bore. Factory wheels are 17x6.5J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with everyday drivability
- A commonly used size for this vehicle class, supporting parts and tire availability
- Maintains clearance for the factory suspension and brake components
- Provides stable, predictable handling across normal driving conditions
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Kia Grand VQ-R (2012) we drill the 6x139.7 pattern and cut the centre bore to 92.3mm 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.

Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F/R 18x8.0J ET35 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Kia Grand VQ-R.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F/R 19x8.5J ET30 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Decision Guide
1
What's your primary use? Daily commuting → Tier A/B. Weekend street driving → Tier B/C. Show or occasional track use → Tier D/E.
2
What's your budget? Under $800 → Tier A. $800-3,400 → Tier B/C. $3,400+ → Tier D/E.
3
How much does fuel economy matter? Very important → Tier A. Somewhat important → Tier B/C. Not a priority → Tier D/E.
4
Still unsure? Tier C (Balanced / Flush Fit) is the default choice for most Kia Grand VQ-R owners.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 17x6.5J ET45 → ~5.52″ backspacing
- Flush: 18x8.0J ET35 → ~5.88″ backspacing
- Max: 19x8.5J ET30 → ~5.93″ backspacing
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Kia spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Kia Grand VQ-R? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Custom Forged Wheels for the Kia Grand VQ-R (2012)
Everything above is reference data. If you want wheels actually built to it, that is what ANKUSI does: we are a forged wheel factory in Guangzhou, China, IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified, forging on our own 10,000-ton press and producing over 120,000 wheels a year. Forging blank, CNC machining, finishing, coating and inspection all happen in the same building — nothing is subcontracted and nothing is relabelled from another manufacturer.
Every set is cut to order, so the 6x139.7 pattern and the 92.3mm centre bore are machined for this car specifically rather than shimmed with adaptor rings. Diameter, width, offset, concavity, monoblock or multi-piece construction and the finish are all yours to choose — most Kia orders on this platform land somewhere between the 18x8.0J ET35 flush setup and the 19x8.5J ET30 aggressive setup referenced above.

What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Kia Grand VQ-R use?
The 2012 Kia Grand VQ-R uses a 6x139.7 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Kia Grand VQ-R use?
The Kia Grand VQ-R uses a 6-lug bolt pattern (6x139.7), so you need a 6-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Kia Grand VQ-R?
The Kia Grand VQ-R's center bore is 92.3mm. 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 Kia Grand VQ-R?
Factory wheels on the Kia Grand VQ-R are 17x6.5J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Kia Grand VQ-R without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 19x8.5J at ET30 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Kia Grand VQ-R?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 18x8.0J at ET35 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Kia Grand VQ-R.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Kia Grand VQ-R?
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 Kia Grand VQ-R?
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 5.88" 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 Kia Grand VQ-R?
The Kia Grand VQ-R 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.

Wheel Installation Reference: Torque, Thread & TPMS
Thread & Fastener: M12x1.5, conical-seat lug nut.
Factory Torque Spec: 107-127 Nm (79-94 ft-lb). Range covers most Kia passenger cars and crossovers on M12x1.5 studs.
TPMS: TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) has been federally mandated on all new light vehicles sold in the US since the 2008 model year. If your wheels use OE-style sensors, have them transferred or cloned to the new wheels at installation.
Tire Pressure: Always set tire pressure to the value on your vehicle's tire placard (driver's doorjamb or glovebox), not the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall — this is trim- and tire-size-specific and stays the same reference point when you switch to a different wheel and tire combination.
Reference data compiled from published OEM service specifications and cross-checked against independent repair sources; always confirm against your owner's manual or door-jamb placard before installation.
