What do I need to do to fit 26's

What do I need to do to fit 26's on my 300 limited? I'm trying to figure out if it is worth it or not.

You'd basically have to buy a new body kit.
You'd need new brakes, new rotors, new calipers new suspension parts

...and then you'd end up with an UGLY 300 - a model which is already long in the tooth - that has ridiculously huge wheels on it.

I've seen guys with 24's on the 300 and I think it looks terrible. This car's porportions make it fair best with 22" wheels and nice, thick all season tires.

Nothing about the cars proportions say 22" is the limit. You're just biased. Besides, he asked about info on how to make them fit. You obviously don't care/know hw to make them fit, so don't chime in.

Anyway, You will need to modify the spindle about 1.5", roll your fenders, and make sure to have the 275/25 26. Pretty much it.

You don't even have a 300 - SO DON'T CHIME IN.

Stay out my business.

I don't need to have one to know if they fit. I own a LX. Same suspension, so I can chime in. On top of that I have worked on various 300's and have CONSTRUCTIVE information about the thread topic. Unlike yourself.

If you categorize this as "your business" that's a sad life you lead.

THAT MAN KNOWS MORE ABOUT WHEEL AND TYRE THAN A WHOLE BUNCH OF CRAP SHOOTERS HERE. And yes he has helped many. So you might want to watch your stupid mouth before you run it.

If you call posting information on a thread - "Constructive" then you are sadder than me.

I suppose you have a PhD in Rims and Tires?
