Welcome to the forums! Post an introduction and some pictures of your ride in the new members section when you can.

I wish I had an answer to your question, but I'm sure some of the big wheel guys will chime in soon to help you out.

The 300c stock tire is 225/60/18, which is a diameter of 28.63 inches.
The closer you are able to keep the tire diameter to 28.6 inches the more accurate your speedo and odometer will be.

Here is tire size calculator. Enter 225/60/18 on one side, and the tire size you are considering on the other side.

265/35-22 and 275/30-22 are good sizes to run but it may not give you the look you are after unless you lower the vehicle. As you step up in wheel diameter you have to step down in sidewall height. After a point, this can make your tire fender gap look out of proportion and too large. If you fill it up with tire your speedometer, ABS and traction control and be off/ As mentioned above it is important to try to maintain the same overall diameter of your wheel and tire assembly in order to keep your vehicles traction control, speedometer and ABS system working correctly. Best bet is to pick up a Eibach lowering kit or a lowering kit from another reputable company. You'll get the look you want and the added improvement in performance.

Please let us know if we can help.
