oh yeah no probs although ground clearance a real pain as we have so many speed bumps here in the uk and after dropping it im REAL low with the cut outs. SRT8 really rare here in the UK and having one with lots of toys on it so im guessing could be as a little as a handful in the whole country so yeah i have learnt to lip read "WHAT THE F...." and of course with the not so subtle number plate it it get lots of stares to say the least.
cut outs were easy to buy (go QTP !)but took some time to fit and hence cost more than i thought but easily the most hilarious thing on the car. 6 litre out of 3 foot of pipe is something to behold. if you do it in a tunnel 50 brake lights come on as they think the roof is coming down.

Today was my first day off in a month. Finally had some time to clean up the C and take a few cell pics.

About a week after I bought it.




After some tint and 22's. I went with some Good Year Eagle GT's but they were rubbing (common problem). Went back and exchanged them for the Toyos. No problems now.






I have to say, the ride is NO PROBLEM with the 22's and 35 series tires. If you live in MI you know our roads are pretty bad. I've done plenty of driving on these. I've hit bumps, smaller potholes, some pretty steep inclines, and the only time I've EVER thought I might have screwed something up was when I lightly curbed one of the front tires. The ride is fine and the 300C's suspension more than makes up for the smaller sidewalls.

Went to the Woodward Dream Cruise last night. Had a great time and saw some other great looking 300's out there.
Oh, and contrary to what some people have said, smokin 22's is NO problem in a stock 300C.

I was hoping to do that, w/20x9, 275/40/20s for the front (exact height as factory wheel/tires).

Just my opinion, but I have had three SRT8s, put 22 on all of them and I swear it improved the ride, it is just a matter of personal taste in my opinion

Hello guys,

I am about to purchase 22's Gitano G38 wheels with 265/30/22 Hankook S1 Evo....Should I use 265/35.....

What do you think of this....on a cool vanilla with 90% tinted windows

[Mystic Knight]

I have 265/35/22 Toyos on my 300C. No problem. Good ride. Just stay away from Good Years in that size.
(See my post above).

I was wondering why all of you bought 22in instead of 24s? I think either size wheel looks good (most anything is better than stock). What was some of your concerns, thoughts, etc between 22 and 24.

22" look amazing. I have after market 20's on right now but am going to upgrade to 22's shortly. The look is a ton better. Most people putting 22-24" wheels are not focusing on ride. It would be nice but looks better then it rides lol!
