Kia Rio Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Kia Rio used a 4x100 mm bolt pattern for all models from 2001 to 2023 along with tire diameters ranging from 22.6" to 24.5" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Kia Rio years and options. In this case, 125/80R15 and 125/80R16 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Kia Rio spare tire.
