19 inch wheels on a 2022 Kia Stinger GT Line

[philipmacias]

Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade my wheels/tires to the 19 inch versions that come stock on the GT 1 & 2 lines.

My 2022 GT Line has 18's currently, just wondering if the 19's will fit.

Thanks for the responses!

If you live in an area with nice roads, 19" by all means are better. More feedback, more responsive to inputs.

Around here, roads are terrible, even 18" with performance tires results in harshness. Also keep in mind, 19" tires cost more.

Gotcha! I love the 19" look; I live in North Hollywood/LA so roads are not too bad.

Car will be slower with more mass further from the center of rotation.

My GT Line came with 19" and I got a second set of 18" for winter which I'm giving up after 3 years.
The difference between 19" and 18" is super small in feel. Tires are much more important. A set of winter 18" Michelin Pilot Alpine feel more sporty than a set of 19" Nokian Powerproof. My personal experience. Both are UHP premium tires.
The difference in weight is irelevant for road driving. Again, tires are MUCH more important.
On that note, what tires are those in the pictures you attached?

looks like lexani... apparently pretty affordable tire that's not the worst ... but definitely not michelin level ... a coworker swears by them.. but then they dont' drive in a truly spirited manner.

Damn, they're 2 to 2.5 times cheaper than a premium UHP tire in Europe (sizes for Stinger 19").
I think the OP would be better to look for a set of wheels with better tires on them. Otherwise they'll be disappointed if they're moving from the OEM Michelin or Continental 18" to those.

Hi i was also looking to upgrade my rims to 19 , can you tell me the exact sizes you bought ? .

Think twice about it.. Tires cost more. More likely to damage tire/wheel with shorter sidewall, ride comfort. I'm sticking with 18's.

yeah in other situations i wouldn't, but a friend of mine is buying my wheels and tires , so might as well.

I bought wider 18s, so I could fit wider 18" tires (255) all around.

I am a strong supporter of the 19" OEM staggered setup. The car rides really well on them and feels very nice to drive. Plus, the best thing is they are very resistant to pothole damage, at least on the lighter 2.0 Stinger. I've hit quite a few potholes in 100k miles and never had any serious damage.

Right now you can choose from about 5 different Stinger 19" designs and about 3 or 4 G70 19" designs. They are interchangeable.
I have these 2 sets (summer & winter)
