Wheel/size/offset and tire/size/profile...can be confusing.

On top of that, as above, I don't know if it's that the fitment is tighter because it's AWD, or ECS or both, but there are a number of examples of people running 9+35 up front without any reports of fitment issues.

I’m 20x9+35 up front with AWD. Do not believe mine are that tight, certainly have no rubbing.

Thanks for the feedback! I measured and It’s definitely 9+35, but the outside width could be a factor, if that’s the case, the rim might be tight but the tire should have the same fitment as yours, well see
 
Any ceramic stinger with red wheels?

Oh, I just realized it’s probably my camber, which is interesting for fitment, means that there’s not much camber adjustment at 9+35

Anybody running 285/35/20 in the back?
I expect that would be way too tall, what are you going for? 30 is perfectly paired with 245/35
 
285/35 is massive. If you want that much rubber you should go down to 19s especially if you plan on lowering. Ark GT-F are some of the more conservative springs but I don't think I'd be able to pull off 285/35/20 on my 10.5+45 wheels without rubbing. Even stock height may be a bit iffy, and you'd look like you're driving a Sorento and not a Stinger.

Thanks but that’s a little exaggerated 30 and 35 it’s not that much of a difference and it’s not for me. One of the guys I know has 245/35/20 all around no problem and it don’t look like a sorento.

Thing is, 285/30 is already almost 3/4" taller than stock,
35 I think is more than the rear fenders could handle.

Https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wh...20X10.5ET45&fcl=16mm&wcl=14mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm

It's not exaggeration, it's 1.85" taller than stock, more than an inch more than 285/30, and AWD or not, your rotation back to front would be way off. Even with my stock wheels/tires I only have about a little more than an inch clearance at the back of my rear tires with the fender.

245/35 and 285/35 are different heights. I have 245/35 up front. They're the same height as 285/30, so I'd expect someone to run that with no issue but that is NOT the same as 285/35. The 30 or 35 tells you what the sidewall height will be as a percentage of your tread width. Therefore 285/35 will be taller than 285/30 and 245/35 and as mentioned, and I'll say it again, it isn't insignificant.
 
@YOWStinger
When are we going to see installed pictures?:D
I’m just going slow right now, wanted to check fitment and get more measurements to update this thread, still another couple of months at least before our salt gets washed away. No one has my tires right now either :(

Just for clarity, 245/35r20 is the same diameter as 285/30r20, both of which are ¾” taller than stock. Profile is a ratio of the width.

245mm*0.35=85.75mm
285mm*0.30=85.5mm
285mm*0.35=99.75mm

245/35 and 285/30 are a perfect match, but already taller than stock,
285/35 is another 28mm taller (1.1”)

If you really want to do it, give it a shot but I don’t think anyone would recommend that size.

I'm leaning towards 19A (modified staggered version) with a stock suspension setup.

I'd like all 4 wheels/tires to rest inside the fender.

19"x9" in the back, instead of 19"x9.5".

:)

Original Michelin Pilot sport 4+ only lasted a year and a half. Good tires but no life. I just bought Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. I went one size bigger in circumference and width to both front and back on stock rims. It just snowed and the results were an amazing traction and ride quality difference. Lots of wheel well clearance and more wheel protection from the wider tire.

Thanks bro now to answer my question.

I have Tires 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 Wheels 20x9 ET 32 20x 10.5 ET 45

Getting new set up should I get the same tires or
255/35/20
295/30/20

or 245/35/20
295/30/20
??
 
Diameter of the 245/35 matches better with 295/30, technically 255/30 and 295/25 would be closer to stock diameter, but I would go with the 245/295 setup, just be aware that the 295 is just a little bigger than the 245 and probably getting up there as far as fitment. 305/25 would be a perfect match with 255/30 but I don’t think we have anyone who has tried that yet ;)

There’s not a huge amount of clearance up front, I don’t think those 255/35’s will fit, but if you want to give them a try and report back, we can add em to the list :)

The best fit options for a front 9" and rear 10.5" are:

225/40/20 (equal to stock diameter) + 255/35/20 (equal to stock)
245/35/20 (-1.1% vs original diameter) + 285/30/20 (-1.2% vs stock)
255/35/20 (-0.4% vs original diameter) + 295/30/20 (equal to stock)
265/30/20 (+0.8% vs original diameter) + 305/30/20 (+0.8% vs original diameter)

245/30/20 + 295/30/20 would not be a good fit because they differ by 1.1% from eachother rather than being very similar like 245/35/20 +285/30/20 is.
Pretty much you can use this table:
2019 Kia Stinger GT2 Tires

The most important thing to look at is the Diameter and how much it differs from stock, the closer to stock diameter the better, just different priorities whether you want tirewall size or width.
The second part is to look at the "wheel" column which shows what is the width of the wheel that tire is suitable for.

I am going to have exactly same fitment wheels as you and will be going with 245/35/20 + 285/30/20 most likely depending on tire availability but any of the 4 combos I named suits them.

Thanks for the info looks like original plan or 255/35/20 and 295/30/20 would work.
