Aftermarket wheels on the Stinger

[STINGER]

That was quick...

245 front and 275 back, not bad. Probably can fit 265 in the front 295 in the back with custom wheels and some body rolling.

What color is this car anyways?

What colour is the car? Deep Chroma Blue? I assume that it's not the GT though as no Brembo brakes??

yeah without the bigger brembo brakes i dont think i would have gone up in wheel size. theres just too much empty space inside the wheels. and the wheel gap looks like its worse than stock

I agree completely. I forget what the quoted tire size is of the GT but I remember that they have staggered sizes but they're like half an inch difference, so you can't rotate the wheels like with the 2.0T. I'm wondering if I did end up with the GT and eventually changed the wheels, if it's worth just getting the same size on all 4 to have that convenience back. Anyone else planning that?

I believe the higher trim level 2.0T's will have 225/45R-18's all around.

The GT will have 225/40R-19 in front and 255/35R-19 at the rear.

I am leaning towards using a summer and a winter setup. I will likely downsize and go square for the winter but keep the staggered stock setup for summer.

Sounds good. If the 18" wheels I put on my Optima fit I might use those as all-seasons then switch to the stock 19" for the summer. If I go driving around on 19"s year-round with all the potholes around here then... well I guess it'll just increase the chances of the exact same roads bending my 18" oem Optima wheels, which of course I'll have to get fixed before I put them back on to sell the car for a Stinger. *sigh*

I am hoping the slightly increased sidewall on the winter setup "might" help mitigate some damage from the "pristine condition" roads I commute on.

You reckon that car is the deep chroma blue tho?

Not sure. Its looks very "purple". I thought it may be Panthera Metal, but that is not offered in Korea.

I think the colour is ceramic grey. If you at the wheel web page the picture looking down on the car it is definitely not blue

 

[Skyguy]

True that.

Nice wheels. But 20s do shrink those brakes. Looks good on wider tyres too. Next video will be lowering it for sure.
Believe these guys did an ecu tuning or maybe just dyno run video too.
