Will my current Enkei RPF1s fit on a GT AWD?

Hi!

I am near certain that the KIA Stinger GT AWD will be my next car. I currently have a Nissan 350z with the below tire/wheel setup. I see that both the Stinger GT and the 350z have the same bolt pattern (5x114.3).

1. Is it feasible for me to move my current setup over to the Stinger GT?
2. Would there be rubbing, and if so, can I roll the interior fender or the like to allow the huge tires? I'm not going to lower the car ever
3. From a sporty driving/safety viewpoint, should this even be done on a daily driver AWD setup?

Thanks!! I appreciate any help you all can provide. I don't do alot of tire research often so whatever offset/size math I learn I forget in a year or so.

Front: 265/35ZR18 97Y XL Continental All-Season DSW06
Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +15 (hub ring)

Rear: 285/35ZR18 101Y XL Continental All-Season DSW06
Enkei RPF1 18x10.5 +15 (hub ring)

That's really aggressive and I highly doubt it will fit, but why not try on one side and see?

Those wheels would look so sweet if you can get it to work

The Stinger's offset is from +35 to +40 depending on the wheels, +15 is too aggressive. The center bore is also larger on the Kia at 67.1mm.

Those will certainly not work on the Stinger. The offsets are too low.

Thanks all. Im seeing that the Enkie offsets that fit are 35-40mm. Too bad, I was hoping I didn't have to spend any money.

Semi-relatedly, whats the actual life expectancy of the OEM Potenzas? My Z came with Potenzas back in the day (2007) and they fucking sucked

Curious, are there any spacers that would marry this set to the stinger?

That has not changed. Although that is very dependent on the way you drive.

Negative. A spacer will only push the wheel out even further. Aside from that your biggest problem with those wheels is your center bore size. It is bigger on the Stinger.

gotcha, thanks man.

Could I use spacers on the stock rims to push them out? Would this cause any problems?

Yes, you can use them, as long as they are hub centric you will not have a problem.
