Also, this may, in fact, be slightly more accurate than stock, as speedos are typically tuned slightly under the actual rated speed by 2-3%.

I may have it a little backwards but I get my information from:

i rode in a 300 a couple of days ago with 20's it rode a lot rougher than my 300 with the stock wheels and tires, i was going to buy his wheels but decided to pass.

i like the feel of 20s on my 300c, an i'm running 38 psi. the stock wheels were too mushy at 35 psi, then too bouncey at 40 psi.

The stock wheel had a 30PSI rating listed inside the door.

Just a note on 22's and the 300C ride quality. Here are some pics of mine. The ride is very nice with the 22's. Much nicer then I thought it would be. As smooth as the stock 18's???? No but far from harsh....I guess if you like the "marshmellow" feel when driving a car I would stay with the 18's or 20's. But for the great looks and compliments wherever you go and the great performance you get from the 22's.....they are the only way to go....IMHO.

Guess I don't know how to post the pics here....maybe this will work.

i maybe insane, but i actually like the look of the C with 20's as i like to see a little more tire. the 22's to me look like its all wheel, kind of a skeletion look. again, i did attend numerous grateful dead shows in the 80's, so i may be legally insane.
