Those two things probably won't work.  If you get an overbore, you also need overbore pistons.  The rings aren't designed to make up for that difference.  So you have two choices:

1.  align the bores and use stock KA24E pistons
2.  overbore and get forged pistons

I'd go with option 2 just because of the added strength
