Just want to know if any other make of rim will bolt on to a Kia Sportage.
If not is it a easy to find a used set of rims in Ontario Canada? My
Brother-In-Law Wants to have 2 sets, one for road, and one for offroading.
What is the bolt pattern spacing sizes? The 2002 is a 15 inch rim but for
some reason the 2006 is a 16 inch rim. If any one can answer these
questions or if there is any used dealer in Ontario Canada on here and can
help me please reply. TY

Check out any number of 4x4 or off-roading websites; many cater to the older
Sportage as it is considered a rough-around-the-edges but fun vehicle.

As far as the 2006 having different wheel specs, it should come as no
surprise. The vehicle was redesigned from the ground up and is a completely
new SUV. In fact, the only thing it shares with the older model is the name.

Will someone please explain the difference between a wheel and a rim?
