Wheel by wheel: offset and tyres

Each original wheel from Citroen C1 is compared with the one from Kia Picanto III of the same diameter: how much closer the wheel gets to the shock absorber or how far it sticks out of the wheel arch, and whether the tyre keeps the same overall diameter.

  • 4.5Jx14 ET40 · 155/65R14 — Fits like the original

    Compared with the original 5.5Jx14 ET45 on Kia Picanto III: shock absorber side −17.7 mm, wheel arch side −7.7 mm, tyre diameter −4.5 % : fit it with the original tyre size of Kia Picanto III (175/65R14), not that of Citroen C1. Check in detail

  • 4.5Jx14 ET35 · 165/65R14 — Fits like the original

    Compared with the original 5.5Jx14 ET45 on Kia Picanto III: shock absorber side −22.7 mm, wheel arch side −2.7 mm, tyre diameter −2.2 % : fit it with the original tyre size of Kia Picanto III (175/65R14), not that of Citroen C1. Check in detail

Before fitting the wheels

An identical hub is not enough: offset, width and diameter change the position of the wheel, and larger calipers can touch a smaller wheel. Original wheels often use bolts or nuts with a specific seat: keep the fixings intended for the wheel, with the thread of Kia Picanto III (M12x1.5), tightened to the torque shown on its vehicle page. Finally, check that the size is among the approved fitments for your vehicle. This comparison is for guidance only: have the fitting approved by a professional.
