For my base model Stinger I am considering 18 X 8.5 aftermarket wheels (0.5 inches wider than 8.0" OEM) with an offset of 35 mm (5 mm less than 40 mm OEM). Will these wheels (with P225/45R18 OEM tires) fit OK?

Yup that should be a perfect fit.

I've just checked out some wheels on Tirerack and the size will work.

Tire Rack, was my source as well. Still looking for an opinion from a 'neutral' party!

No decision yet, but I do not like highly "spoked" look in wheels.

I think the BBS CH would look good on the Stinger.

Take a look at Vorsteiner

Thanks for the recommendation, but I have already ordered different wheels. I will try to post photos after they are installed.

In that regard, I may need a set of 5 mm wheel spacers. Does anyone know of a good source for Kia specification wheel spacers?

wheel will stick out about .5 inches, you will need to stretch the tire. [nono]

Take a look at Vorsteiner
Vorsteiner wheels are so amazing, just so expensive. But you do get amazing quality. I would love to buy them but I live in NYC and I do not want to have to babysit my car. Talking about losing over 3 grand if they are stolen or damaged by my own doing. LOL

I am extremely interested in upping my base model wheels to 20 inches. I have my eye pretty much set on one style I really like. Only issue is, they are 20 X 9.5 5-114.30 Bolt Pattern 40 Offset.

I'm pretty sure that would create a really great look as I have seen that 20X9.5 setup on many Optima's around my way.

Another thing is, I happen to be interested in 245/45/R20 tire size.

If anyone can provide information on whether or not this setup will fit without any issues I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Ok so,

The 20x9.5 rear fitment shouldn't be an issue(given the wheel design clears the calipers). the front is a little tricky, as the +40 will sit farther in (approx 14mm more) than wheels we usually run in a 20x9. the rear should sit nearly flush with the fender and the front will be "sunken" in.

Also, that 245/45-20 is too tall. i'd suggest a 245/35-20. it's within the 3% Overall Diameter difference.

First off thank you so much for your input I really appreciate it. Now you have me wanting to ask more questions if you don't mind.

My options for the specific wheels I want are

For 8.5

1) - 20 X 8.5 5-114.30 30 offset

2) - 20 X 8.5 5-114.30 45 offset

For 9.5

1) - 20 X 9.5 5-114.30 25 offset

2) - 20 X 9.5 5-114.30 40 offset

not a problem, we're here to help. are you thinking about running the 20x8.5 or 20x9.5 all around or a staggered setup w/ 8.5 front and 9.5 rear? i ask because the fitment changes when we run a staggered setup.

I would rather just run the most convenient setup all around. So if 20x9.5 is too much of a hassle for the front then I'll be perfectly fine with the 20x8.5 all around.

My recommendation? Stick with the 20x8.5 +30et. the 20x9.5 COULD fly, im sure you'd have to run a 245/30-20 and stretch it to clear the inside. at that point you'll sacrifice some ride quality at the expense of a cool looking setup so...

I appreciate that. I will definitely stick to the 8.5 +30.... Now quick question if I got a 255/35-20 set of tires would that be fine? I'm hoping to get at least a little tire protection in terms of the rim when parking etc. Not that I plan to be careless anytime* soon. Lol would that size be helpful? Would it even be fine with that wheel set-up?

Thanks again man.
