New member needs info on wheels...

[300c Ryder]

Hey there everybody i just found out about this 300c fourm... GREAT info on my newest ryde... I live in Cincinnati and i want to make my 300C a sick ryde... I was wondering on wheels... I like 20's but i would like to do the 22's... Is there anything i need to know before ordering wheels... I drive it daily and don't want to alter the suspension... I am wanting to add wheels, dash kit, E&G items too... Would like input from others who have gotten wheels for there 300's... Thanks guys... Trevis

I have 22"s on mine and it rides as good as before, I couldnt believe it when I first drove it, and mine is a daily driver as well.

Click on my Pics, my 22's are Diamo 15 carats, I too was amazed on the ride of the 22 compared to stock, but the stock 18 Conti's self seal are a very rough ride,,,

Congrats and welcome, no stupid questions here

Looks like the 22's are going to go on my ryde after all... Thanks guys... Any perticular tire size or brand you think i should go with... Trevis

Hi 300C Ryder
Congrats on your new ride.

There's no question 22" wheels look great iinside the large wheel openings. However, you asked if ride and handling would be affected.

The short answer is YES.

Quite a lot has been written already in this thread:
Wheel Weight VS Performance

Wheel Weight VS Performance

Hope this helps.

Okay just 1 more question on this topic...

So if i'm going w/ 22's on my 300c and i'm only after the looks more than the performance will my ryde be okay... Will have to change or alter anything to get a set of 22's... Is there a specific tire size i should run so i won't rub... Or what all do i need to do for the upcoming set up of 22's... I mean i won't mess up any thing on my ryde like brakes, suspension or any possible happenings... Sorry so stupid not a mechanic and really just trying to add all the customs bells and whistles to my 300... Not really worried about performance, just want to roll in style... Thanks alot to all you 300c lovers for the inputs... L8TR...

Trevis, I thought the avatar looked familiar . Thanks for the compliments. Good Luck in choosing your wheels. I went with 20's and have no regrets.
