Purchasing a Stinger

[Mveldheer]

In need of advice. Looking to trade in my Ford SHO for this stinger. It only has 13k miles on it. It’s a 2021 listed for $33k. It did have a minor accident so title is fine. My concern is that the rear tires are sticking out a bit more than the front. Also, two different types of tires on the front and back. Concerning?

Any feedback is appreciated.

As long as front and rear tires have the same diameter, I wouldn't worry about it. If it's RWD, than it's not even that critical. As far as tires sticking out, it only affects the look for the most part. If you don't like how it looks, plan on changing the wheels.

It’s AWD.

Your OD in front is c. 649mm, the rear is c. 687mm. That is quite a difference. You are not supposed to run disparate ODs with AWD, very bad idea. It's good the car has low miles. Probably little chance that there is any damage to the transfer case/center differential. Those rear tires look very stretched. How wide is that rear wheel? Looks like a low offset too, to poke that much. Why are the rear mud guards missing? Hmm. Finally, the front tires are "W" speed rated, the rears are "Y" speed rated. This tells me that the ones in front are likely A/S and the rear tires could be summer tires, i.e., softer compound. You will get understeer, your front grip will break first in other words, very dangerous if your pushing a curve.

Different tires can cause handling issues but really a minor detail if the car is good, the exterior is modded so I would be conserned about previous engine mods being removed
Rear tire says M&S that's mudd and snow so it's a all season tire I couldn't read the front one to tell

Thank you to everyone’s input. The car only had 13,500 miles on it. Had a Kia master tech check into it. He said the oil filter housing needs replacement(grease monkey) did a sloppy job. And as far as the wheels and tires, they’re too big. Does anyone have any used set of wheels and tires for sell? Will pay for shipping

Make sure front tires are 245/35ZR20 to work with your rear 285/30ZR20. This applies for 19s as well. I've ran those widths/profiles on 19s and 20s. I am AWD also.
