Post you pics and wheel and tire specs here for the 2019+ Forte Sedans and Hatchbacks. It would be nice if we could get everyone to post the setup they have with specs and pics so others can see what they look like and how they fit? Most forums have this so all the info is in one place.

Stock wheel and tire specs
Center bore for all 2019+ Forte is 67.1mm
15x6.0 46mm offset 195/65r15
16x6.5 50mm offset 205/55r16
17x7.0 53mm offset 225/45r17
18x7.5 55mm offset 225/40r18

Not all sizes will fit all 2019+ Forte since the brakes are larger on the GT models and models with the electric e-brake (11.2 inch rear vs 10.3)

Fitment notes - pretty much perfectly flush with the lip of the fender. Yes I know I need to lower it LOL

How are you liking the Sumitomo? I had them on the Maverick and was happy with them as an all season tire. They seem to be one of the best reasonably priced tires right now.

I like them. Grip like you wouldn't believe in the corners. Mileage did take a hit but that's mostly from going from a 195 eco tire to a 225 performance tire. Kinda loud on certain surfaces. For the money they are great.
I do have a winter set on the stock steelies, so I kinda wish I got a more aggressive summer-focused set, such as the Nokian ZLines I got for my Volvo, which are even cheaper but lighter and stickier for the summer. Haven't driven on them yet since that car went into storage for the winter a few days after I got them on, but based on what the guys on the Volvo forum have said about them, they are really good inexpensive summer tires.
But overall, the Sumitomos are a solid option.

Any rub or clearance issues with this setup? I always like that color wheel too, gunmetal?

None. The camber is at 2 degrees all around, even with passengers in the back seat and luggage in the trunk. Tested on the CA I-15 with dips and bumps and vehicle down force. Gunmetal!

Hard to tell in the pics but the outside of the tires sit juuusssttt inside the wheel arches. No rubbing/scrubbing.

(yes my car is filthy, we just moved house and I haven't had the time to clean it)

Quick question concerning the tire pressure sensors on the wheels, does the car automatically pick up the sensor when the wheels are swapped out? Or does something need to be done to reset them and/or have the sensors be properly recognized by thr car?

Yes they are automatically picked up. Just drive it a little bit and they will recognize

The car doesn't use an actual TMPS in the wheel. It uses the ABS sensors to read the rotation rates of each wheel independently. A tyre with a lower air pressure will rotate faster compared to the tires with normal air pressure, as the overall diameter of the tire is smaller when air pressure is lower - think of it like balloon with a little air in it, vs one with a lot of air in it.

In my experience the sensitivity is around 6psi of differential air pressure between tires

Mine has sensors...

Wait what? seriously? we don't get them here

 

[noturbonoproblem]

Same here. Probably a region difference - Australia and maybe some other markets use indirect TPMS (hence the lack of sensors), while North America uses direct TPMS. Direct is more accurate, but more expensive since you need the physical sensors. I wonder if it correlates to square vs. round gas cap door...

ok, well I sit corrected
