Wondering if the following Kia OEM alloys will fit a 2023 SX-P (SX-Limited in Canada) for use with winter tires (245-60/R18) and have enough clearance for brakes. Unfortunately I can not actually perform a fitment check yet given the vehicle is still 3-4 weeks away from delivery.

Kia OEM wheel (part# 52910-M6500 from a 2020 Kia Forte GT)
18"x7.5"
5x114.3
67.1mm
offset: 55 (Telluride's OEM wheel offset is 49.5)

Additionally, this Kia OEM wheel does not mention any load rating. Would it be safe to use with heavier (around 1300 lbs. extra than the sedan) vehicle?

‘23 EX X-Line, first winter. I am interested in 18” Winter wheels also. I saw on TireRack the offset was listed as +35mm. Can someone please verify the proper offset? I also have the same caliper and other-Kia-models-that-fit questions. Thanks, C
 

I understand if you have a line on a set that works out and want to make it work. For me, I found a set on Ebay that are specifically made for this vehicle similar to these. There may be better prices and vendors available, these are just an example. No worries about fitment, load rating, tire size, and speedometer errors. Also found the sensors on Ebay for a great price.

This is what I have found. I have edited this several times trying to make it helpful:
5 lug M12-1.5mm
Bolt circle- 4.5” or 114.3mm
Offset (ET)- 49.5mm with an acceptable range of 47.5-51.5mm
Bolt circle and offset were the same for 18 and 20”
Standard width for both is 7.5”
Center bore- 67.1mm

Several Kia models have these specs but I haven’t confirmed much regarding caliper clearance. Any help would be appreciated.

If you are going to spend money on wheels than I recommend you get wheels that fit properly. These would be sunken in additional 5.5mm from OEM wheels.
