3.3TT Spare tire for Europe

[8star]

Hi all,
unfortunately we European Stinger (3,3 GT AWD) owners have no spare tire in our cars. To order a set I need some part numbers which are not known in the European headquater for parts. lol
If anybody of this forum will be able to organise them it will be very helpful. It does not exist the part numbers for 18" steel wheel / or complete wheel and also not for the tool organizer.
Thx in advance from Germany and have a nice day.

Anyone have part numbers for the spare tires/wheels?

 

[DaJackson]

I bought some parts from these guys without a part number.

Just tell them what you are looking for and don’t tell them you aren’t in the US.

Out of curiosity what is back there if you don’t have a spare? In the US the only cars I know of that don’t have a spare come with run flats or a can of fix a flat.

You may be able to save a lot by doing it yourself too, and I only use a full size spare. I believe that the 5 x 114MM bolt circle was also used on Hondas, Nissans, and Mazdas. Get a used wheel from E-Bay, then a tire, and have them mounted. You'll need a wheel 5x114MM, 18" x 8", maybe 25MM - 30MM offset, then a 225/45x18 tire. You should be able to get this $100 - $150; at least in the US.

living on the mountains 2000m - narrow streets -sometimes holes / stones - foam in the wheel will not help - so you can wait a long time for any expensive help

You have a huge choice of aftermarket wheels in Germany and other European countries to choose from so I would not waste time with Kia product.
Get a 19 x 8 or 19 x 8.5 aftermarket wheel with KIA stinger wheel bolt pattern and 225 40 19 tyre. Many of the after market wheels will not clear the Brembo brake calipers so you will need to buy one with a design that clears big brake fitments. Many more of the BBF wheels are being designed and manufactured now . With the wheel selection check your wheel offset (same as stock or lower than the stock wheel) to ensure the spare will clear the suspension components inside the wheel well.
Then all you need do is buy a suitable jack to carry that will safely do the job.

Thank you very much for all these good advices. I do not want to fullfill the cargo bay. Before my retirement I was a car dealer so I know the market.
I just want to install the original small spare tire like it is built in the U.S. Stingers.

Do you get extra cargo area under the floor? If so, I'd probably want to trade you if cross-shipping the parts wasn't so expensive!

This is the European solution under the floor. I checken the space - it is enough -it is like in the U.S. cars.

But the transport and tax ? No idea - thank you very much for your kind offer -would be a great help

Here's the pic with the tire. Almost the same left-over storage space!!!! The cavern was clearly designed to hold a full-size spare and not much more. You are getting ripped-off in Europe regarding getting only the tire kit.

When I look at the fiasco with the USA models missing so many features (that you can't even get as options), whoever makes decisions about which options go on which Stingers in which countries should be fired...

 

[8star]

BUT we have all the other options in the GT - we only can choose sliding roof and color

Thx for reading this thread - unfortunately got no information

I am sorry I wasn't clear. What I meant above was that the design of the insert when you do NOT have the tire is almost the same amount of storage space as when you do. Hence my comment about firing.

If there was a great underfloor storage area, I would have been interested in swapping. To gain 2 L of space, no thanks.

Hi all,
unfortunately we European Stinger (3,3 GT AWD) owners have no spare tire in our cars.

Strange, in Belgium the (small) temporary spare wheel is standard on all Stinger versions and is in the trunk. Only a border away...

Thx a lot for this Information. I was informed by the German importer that it is not available for Europe. A Swiss dealer told me the same story. Also my dealer had no chance to order all needed parts.

Should be able to just order it in Belgium as a spare/replacement part! Or get a friendly Belgium owner to do it if they won't accept out-of-country orders.
