Hans, we made it up the Queen's Canyon road (north side) all the way to the mine in a small rental car. Past that, even 4WD might not be enough. That was only about a 30 min hike to the saddle where you enter the wilderness area and turn west to gain the ridge. I can't speak for the Kings Canyon route, but we liked this one, it had lots of high altitude walking on the ridge and good views of Bristlecone Pine forests. We did it two days after Whitney, and wished we'd had an extra rest day. It is a tough climb. pay attention to the directions when coming down, it is easy to get lost, lots of confusing ridges. Stayed at a very cool B&B with private outdoor hot tubs in Benton Springs, CA (on the border) the night before.
