I have a question. I have an 05 300, base lx with the 2.7 (wifes car, but now my toy). I'm wanting to put 22's on it, and am looking to put 265/30's on it because they are almost the exact same 28" height. I would like to put 265/35's, but it's over an inch taller, and with this being the baby engine that's drive 90 miles round trip for work 5 days a week, I kinda don't know what to do. I don't want to lose any serious mileage, nor have her complain to me about power lose or ride quality. Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it because in SW Missouri, no tire shops have any clue. All the rednecks around here just want to put 33X12.50's on it!
i have the same exact car and I have 22" w/ 265/35/22 tires. I will say that the gas mileage is about what what when traveling on expressway but you will see the difference riding to work in the city with alot of stops.. i have hankook performance tires and the ride is almost what what with the factory continental tire..
hope this helps

I have the TIS 03 22x9.5 5x114.3 offset +18 I phoned discount tire and ask what tire will fit without rubbing they said you can get the 265 30 22 and thats all they will put on the car. Then I phoned Les shwab tire and they garanteed that the265 35 22 are the best and they wont rub! Anyway I am stuck because I can get the toyos p4 255 35 22 for a amazing price right now I dont know what to do I have till friday to order them PLEASE HELP ME I am lost!! I ask one guy at the shop he said the toyo 255 35 22 will mess up you shifting and gas milage the best way to go is 265 35 22 but hold on a half of a inch makes that much of a differnce!!!! HELPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just dont fing KNOW!
^^If the guy told you a 255/35 will mess up gas mileage or your car, he doesn't know **** so immediately find a new shop. A 255 would be as close to your stock diameter as you are going to get, and not only will not rub, but will steer better than the 265.
So what should I do go for the 255 35 22 or the 265 35 22! The stock diameter 27.98inch if i go 35 22 the diamet will 29inch is this going to rub! Dose any one have the TIS 03s on and what tires did you uses i have 2007 300 base RWD! PLEASE HELP MEZZZZZ!!!!!!
