Hello, I've just acquired a fully optioned GLS V6 '09 Sonata and I'm interested in getting some aftermarket 5 spoke alloy wheels. I did that in the past with my old Galant, but unfortunately the wheels purchased had a slightly different hub diameter, so I had to use some adapters for the wheel centering - it was a bit of a pain and I don't want to do that this time.

Does anyone know the specifications for these wheels? By that I'm looking for the wheel center diameter (hub diameter), AND either the offset or backspacing of the factory 6.5" wide 16" wheels. If you give me backspacking of a different wheel, please tell me the wheel width it corresponds to and if your fit is good.

Alternatively, if someone has some aftermarket simple 5 spoke alloy wheels (either 6.5" wide or 7" wide), please let me know the brand and where you bought them.

Thanks.

I ended up rotating my tires yesterday so I took some time for measurements. The hub diameter is 67mm. I measured to the outer wheel lip, and got a backspacing of approx. 5.25". This lends an offset of approximately 2" positive (50.8mm).

The aftermarket wheels I'm looking at retain that offset, which is good from a geometry standpoint.

Any input from others?
