It varies by trim and wheel size, 3 factory fitments exist, from 195/65R15 up. Check the placard on the driver's door jamb for the size your specific vehicle left the factory with.

What is the bolt pattern on a 2012–2016 Hyundai Elantra?

5x114.3. That is the figure you need when shopping for aftermarket wheels; centre bore and offset still have to match separately.

What should the tire pressure be on a 2012–2016 Hyundai Elantra?

32 PSI front and rear, measured cold. The number moulded into the tire sidewall is the tire's maximum, not the vehicle's recommendation. Do not inflate to it.

What is the lug nut torque for a 2012–2016 Hyundai Elantra?

80 lb-ft, tightened in a star pattern with a torque wrench. Impact guns routinely overshoot this by 100 lb-ft or more, which warps rotors and stretches studs.

Compact temporary spare (under trunk floor); some Limited trims got a tire mobility kit instead.
