WELCOME from our West Virginia LXs in the Mid-Ohio River Valley. Are you saying you recently purchased a new 2005 300, or that it's "new to you?" Is it a base model, or a Touring or Limited (different engine size). I figure it is not a 300C, or you would have indicated that.
I'm no expert on rims and such, but Ralph Guilles, the designer for the 300, said two years ago and the So.Cal. Festival of LXs that the car was designed with 20in. wheels in mind. Therefore, you should not have any issues with going to 20s. IIRC the base and Touring/Limited models comes stock with 17s, The 300Cs have 18s, the SRTdesign and SRT8s have stock 20s.
Lots of people put 22s on their rides and they look very nice... but... the thinner the side wall the more harsh is the ride (given the same suspension) and the more potential for rim damage due to pot holes and the like (could be a concern in NJ?).
Even with 22s, people tend to want to lower their rides a little and there are a variety of ways to do that... just read around (or search) the forums and you'll find lots of threads on the subject.
Good luck and again WELCOME to 3CF.
