srt wheels on a 300C

So, i mounted a set of srt wheels on my 300 c and they look great. Two problems. First my tpms is going off all of the time. I plan to put snow tires on the stock wheels and use them in the winter so I don't want to remove them from the original wheels. Can I disable the system? And second the front wheels rub in reverse (only). I can turn the wheels lock to lock going forward and no rubbing but with not much turning going in reverse I can hear them. Any suggestion? Thanks!

Is it the wheels rubbing in the front or just the wheel weights. I havent put those wheels on myself but a guy I ran into on the streets did it without spacers. He mentioned he had no rubbing but he had to move the wheel weights or they would rub.

If these are oem srt8 wheels, you will need spacers on the front to run them on your C.

you need the small (3mm) spacers. They look big (thick) enough to make a difference but they do.

I run the SRT replicas without any rubbing at all.

P.S. I have an extra setup of spacers if you can not find them locally. Will mail to you from Florida.

Do the srt-8 wheels fit on the basic chrysler 300. I upraded to the 18's and now found a good price on a set of srt-8's. I think i will need the spacers, but will they fit and not rub
