I finally installed shaft extension for Seltos and no more Compression Issue (rear suspension).
Highly recommend for who installed truxxx 2" lift kit

Really nice looking with the lift. What size rims and tires are you running?

Perfect, that's almost exactly the same diameter as a 235/50R18 which I was wondering if anyone had tried fitting.
Those look like they would fit perfectly in the wheel wells even without the lift.
Looks good btw.

Edit: had a look at the Truxx website and had to laugh on the description for their fitting more aggressive tires with the lift:
"Common tire upgrade is a 225/55R17 tire with a +40mm offset wheel"
That's practically stock diameter, they're kidding right? that's not an upgrade...

Our southeast asian market seltos got 215/60R17 tyre as standard.

Interesting...that's almost identical height and diameter to the 235/50R18 I'm thinking of.
Obviously no clearance or rubbing issues? I would assume SE Asian market uses the same suspension height?
Although the additional width may cause some issues on turning...I may have to roll the dice and experiment.

the first three seltos using 235/50r18, then the fourth picture is a seltos in 20inch rims and the last one using 19inch rims.

Perfect, exactly the info I was looking for and the pics are fantastic!
Thanks! I really appreciate that.

Edit: you sure about that first pic? Those look like 17's...could be just the wheel style though..

yup, the first one is using 18inch.

yup, the first one is using 18inch.

LOL, definitely the wheel design then...makes it look a little smaller than it is...thanks again!

I will certainly be buying a set of 235/50R18's when I get the new ride...they fill the wheel wells in nicely!

Anytime. Nice, it will suit your seltos more than mine. I’m gonna transfer my 235/45R19 tyres n mazda CX5 rims from my KIA Sonet to my Seltos when I get my new ride. Still need to wait for the delivery.

do you happen to know the offset on those wheels? Stock is +44 for a Fwd LX, +50 for the EX and +52 for the Ex premium /SX. I've been looking for something with more offset around +40/+35
