  1. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    Hi all, my girlfriends rear bumper has a decent sized hole from an accident. I'm looking to replace it with a used one as I am on a budget. Her car is a 2018 optima S. I found this on eBay. Seller also said it was pulled overseas. OEM Rear Bumper Complete Kia Optima EX 2016 2017 2018 | eBay...
  2. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    So as I research wheel options for my 2016 hybrid, I see Kias lists as 5x114.3 and 5x115 wheel bolt pattern. Is it safe to assume these sizes are interchangeable? It's a very very slight difference. It's also astounding to me some Optimas came with 235 45 18 tires. I was concerned 225 45 18s...
  3. The Service Center
    I noticed that there are 2 different part codes for the front rotors for a 2015 Optima LX. One part code is for Optima built in the USA and the other is for Optima built in Korea. All the tech specs are identical, would anyone happen to know if this part is interchangeable. I own an Optima...

    Seems being new I am restricted to posting in this section. Hopefully it will actually be viewed here, or maybe a mod could please relocate it for me? Anyway recently got and installed an Injen CIA. Wondering if others with it have been frustrated with the fitment. The issues: * The silicone...
  5. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    They list 2010+ Optima for items such as their intake, downpipe and FMIC kit. Has anyone tried any of these on a 2016+? Their prices are lower than something like the KSR performance I was looking at. The KSR FMIC was "2016 specific" although it needed some fab and was not a simple bolt-on...

  7. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    Has anyone mounted 245-45R18's on their stock SX-T Luxury rims? If so, were there any fitment issues as far as rubbing or otherwise? I'm about to go get new set of tires to replace the original Nexens, and would like to go wider than 235 if possible. Car is bone stock, and I don't have any...
  8. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    After a few years with my SXL Chrome wheels and 73k miles, I think it's finally time for a change - they're starting to chip a little bit around the center caps. I went through all the wheel stickies and found them to be very helpful, so thanks to everyone for their contributions. I think I've...

    So after looking around craigslist for a couple weeks I finally found some rims/tires that I think might work to replace my stock '14LX rims. The rims are 19" velox vx5's with 225 35 19 Achilles tires. I checked on willtheyfit.com and it seems like it would be alright, but I wanted to get some...
