Wheels from Mitsubishi Starion on Kia Cerato: compatible?

Yes, the hub is identical

Same 4x114.3 PCD and same 67.1 mm centre bore: wheels from Mitsubishi Starion bolt on and centre on Kia Cerato without rings. You still need to check the offset and tyres, detailed below.

Wheel by wheel: offset and tyres

Each original wheel from Mitsubishi Starion is compared with the one from Kia Cerato of the same diameter: how much closer the wheel gets to the shock absorber or how far it sticks out of the wheel arch, and whether the tyre keeps the same overall diameter.

    Compared with the original ≈6Jx15 ET43 on Kia Cerato: shock absorber side −12.3 mm, wheel arch side +37.7 mm, tyre diameter +2.8 % : fit it with the original tyre size of Kia Cerato (185/65R15), not that of Mitsubishi Starion. Comparison for guidance only (estimated width). Check in detail

Before fitting the wheels

An identical hub is not enough: offset, width and diameter change the position of the wheel, and larger calipers can touch a smaller wheel. Original wheels often use bolts or nuts with a specific seat: keep the fixings intended for the wheel, with the thread of Kia Cerato (Ecrous - 12x1.50), tightened to the torque shown on its vehicle page. Finally, check that the size is among the approved fitments for your vehicle. This comparison is for guidance only: have the fitting approved by a professional.
