Asanti made me 22x8.5" fronts (+13.5" offset) and 22x10" (16.4" offset) rear knowing that it was going on a lowered 300C with eibach pro-kit and full wilwood big brake kit. I had to roll the rear fenders a bit to completely alleviate the slight rubbing I got in the rear on quick bumps and decents, not because of the rear wheel but the tire choice (295/30/22), they recommended nothing wider than a 285/30. Not sure who they talked to at Asanti but they will (at least did in many situations) make a wider wheel for a 300.
Granted I do not know how the SRT-8's calipers reside in relation to the hub but a good wheel shop should be able to take some measurements and work directly with Asanti. This is what they do is custom wheels and offsets, just make sure the shop that is ordering them knows their stuff, if not find another shop or learn how to measure youself.
I will tell you that I have about a 1/2" clearance from the front calipers and over 1" from the rear calipers and the stock wheels will still fit on my car.
Hope this helps,
James

He said that Asanti people were checking around to see if they could find something out.
He said that the problem lie within the Brembo Brakes. Anybody heard anything about this. I know LB44 has 22x9 Lowenharts are there any other SRT-8 with 22'' wheel. The factory wheels are 20x9 so I don't see why you have to stick with 22x8.5's.
Any help or input would be welcomed,
