The 25.5 offset is correct. Stamped on my wheels

FYI!

We finally got an SRT-8 wheel in and test fit it to a C model. It does contact the front suspension and would require a 5-10mm spacer on the front. The rear fits fine. Universal spacers are available in 1/4", I have seen them listed on Ebay.

I assume, if you installed a set of 10mm spacers, that you would also need to install 10mm longer wheel studs. Do you have these available?

You may or may not need to. We do not carry them either way.

You most certainly would need to. The addition of a 10mm spacer between the wheel and the hub will not allow enough of the factory wheel studs to protrude through and engage the lug nuts. Even if you could catch one or two threads, it would not be enough to hold the wheels on safely.

I'll be getting my hands on a set of these wheels in a couple weeks, at which time I'll investigate the stud requirements. It makes it a bit challenging here in the northeast, since I plan to alternate back and forth between stock 300C wheels for winter and the SRT8 wheels for summer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a spacer won't be required at all.

There's another thread which would seem to indicate these wheels fit without any spacers at all: Midnight Blue 300C w/SRT8 Wheels&Tires

Trust me when I tell you that you WILL need a spacer. I mounted one of these SRT-8 wheels to a regular 300C with my own hands. It did not actually contact the suspension arm but was about 2-3mm away from it. Once you mount a tire to it the tire will definatley contact the vertical suspension arm. It might be a very slight contact but it will contact.

As far as a longer stud is concerned, it depends on the size of the spacer that will be needed. I have seen 3/16 inch spacers which comes out to about 4mm. That spacer is probably thin enough to use the stock studs. I don't know that this will be sufficient amount of spacer to do the job though. If you go with a 1/4 inch spacer which is about 6.5mm, you may need a longer stud. This all hinges on how long the OE stud is. Getting a longer replacement stud should be fairly easy from your local auto parts store. Just make sure you get a knowledgable counter person to look up the stud and then go to the back of the book and find a longer stud with the same dimensions.
