I saw that too, but I have never seen a 300c with a spare?

A 300c SRT8 that is
Check this out on the work I have done thus far:
No spare tire really sucks
Which is part of this:

RobertV do you have any pictures of your set up? Sorry to be so dumb, but just what is a space saver tire? Not another word for a donut I hope. Thanks for any information.

My 300C has a spare; it's just the SRT8 that does not.

I don't know if the spare wheel from a 300C will clear the big brakes on the SRT8....

I wish one of the guys who has a European version of the SRT-8 would post a picture of the spare that comes with their car.

srt8danno, HEMI 57 had a "space saver spare". Skinny steel wheel which did not lie flat in the well in the Boot (Trunk) under the floor cover, ie was raised on the front with the jack and wheel brace stored underneath.

SRT 61 has no spare, only repair kit.

Someone from Kuwait posted a picture of the spare that came with his SRT8, mandated by law over there. The spare was a full size SRT8 rim & tire that took up most of the trunk.

I'm so naive..I thought all 300C's came w/spare

2006 BB 300C I purchased came with a spare, I just hope I never have to use it. Although I did use the jack to swap out my wheels.

The 5.7 C does, SRT8s do not.

That is the only wheel that will fit under the rear cargo area. I do not like having a donut, but it will work in a pinch. See the photos below:
