Hyundai Santa Cruz tire size by year

The 2022–2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz was sold from the factory on 245/60R18, 245/50R20, on 18x7.5, 20x8 wheels. Which one your truck has depends on its trim and wheel package, so check the placard inside the driver's door jamb — that sticker lists the sizes your specific truck left the factory on, together with the correct cold inflation pressures.

About 29.6 inches overall. The sidewall is 5.8 inches tall (70 per cent figures are of the section width, not the wheel), the section width is 9.6 inches, and it turns roughly 682 revolutions per mile. Those are the numbers to compare against when you are sizing up.

Across 2022–2026 the largest factory size on record is 245/50R20 at about 29.6 inches tall, and the smallest is 245/60R18 at about 29.6 inches. If your truck came on the smaller size, the larger one is a known-good fitment for the same platform — which makes it the safest first upsize, though offset and trim still differ.

Usually one size, around 3 per cent more overall diameter, fits on stock suspension. Past that you are into trimming the front valance or fitting a levelling kit, and the limiting factor is often the wheel offset rather than the tire height — a wider tire on a lower offset hits the fender liner at full lock long before diameter becomes the issue. Work out the exact clearance before you buy.

Yes, proportionally. A tire 3 per cent taller than stock makes the speedometer read about 3 per cent low, so an indicated 70 is really 72, and the odometer under-counts by the same amount. It also shifts the effective gear ratio, which on a truck that tows is felt as softer acceleration and more downshifting on grades.

Wheel fitment starts with the bolt pattern, then hub bore, then offset. All three for every Santa Cruz generation are on the bolt pattern page for this truck, along with the stud thread and lug torque. The factory wheel sizes on this page tell you what widths and diameters the truck was engineered around.
