Thanks Rogue. Great Info.
5x115mm is proper for the 2005 Chrysler 300. The 2004 Chrysler 300m was 5x114.3mm.What bolt pattern fits my 300c?
20x8.5 seems to be the most common setup for forum members. The 300c can accomodate 20x9.5 with no issues with the proper offset.What 20" wheel width is best for the 300c?
18-24mm will fit properly depending on the fit you want within the fenderwell. Anything above 24mm will most likely require a space to be used.What Offset is proper for a 22"x8.5" Wheel?
I am unable to find anyone running this setup. If you are, please contact me with your tire size and offset information. ThanksCan I fit a 20x9" Wheel?
My dad always told me if you can't do something right, don't do it at all. Spacers are a bandaid to a fitment issue. Get a proper sized wheel with a proper offset and you won't run into any issues.Why shouldn't I use spacers?
Most forum members are running 20x8.5" with an 21-24mm offset on a 255/45/20. This setup will cause no rubbing no matter how many dead bodies you care to stuff in your trunk. Another alternative is a 275/45/20 for a wider tire.What is the ideal 20" Setup then?
Quite well. Image courtesy of 300CULATER on Helo Cash & Toyo Proxes S/T 255/45/20:Will the 45 series tire be enough to fill my wheel well?
Pirelli P Zero, Continental SportContact 2, Nitto Extreme 555, Falken. Just about every major tire manufacturer now makes an assortmentment of 20" sizes. Avoid cheaper tires like Hankook or Kumo if you can.Who makes a good tire in 20"
You get what you pay for when it comes down to wheels and tires. The cheaper the wheel, the more likely it is to bend on potholes. Wheels CAN be straightened and repaired but only a few times before they become worthless and lose their strength. A fair price for a good set of 20" Wheels and tires will cost anywhere from $2000 on up. $2500 is a very common pricepoint for a reputable brand of wheel with nice tires. Pricing can go all the way up to $5000 for a set of 20" forged multipiece wheels.I can get a full set of wheels and tires shipped to my house for less than $1000. Is this a good deal?
Yes, a few forum members are currently running this setup with no rubbing issues. A Picture courtesy of Black Hemi. The wheels are MC2ning FZ6 on 255/45/20 on the Eibach Sportline springs:Can I install the Eibach Sportline or Pro kit with 20" wheels?
The dealer is incapable of recalibrating your computer to any tire size above the factory 18". Keep your wheel and tire setup within 3% of the same overall diameter as the stock 18" Setup. Use this calculatorDo I need to get my computer recalibrated for my new wheels/tires?
Ride quality will be very close to stock, perhaps better (The factory Continentals are a bit rough). Traction will also be improved and cornering due to the low profile sidewalls.How will my ride quality be affected going to 20"?
Per Rogue's response (this morning) to your other post asking the same question:flipmode said:I've gotten a couple of different answers.....can anyone give me the correct weight of the stock 18" on the 300C. I'd like to try and keep my 20's I'm looking to buy in the same weight range or at least factor in weight when I'm looking to buy the new wheels.
Flip, I'll weigh a conti for you in the morning. I have snows on now so I'll haul one of the conti's out and put it on the scale. They are heavy puppies with all that self seal gunk in them.flipmode said:I believe the 56 lbs...no prob there....but the wheel by itself is what I'm wondering....or I guess I can ask what does the tire weigh to back into the wheel weight....
My reasoning is that the real weight difference will come from the wheel itself and the tires I'm looking at should be within a few pounds of each other...stock vs. aftermarket tires. So I'm really hoping to get wheels within a reasonable range of the stock (or as close as possible). Thanks for your time.
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Had to chop the ice away from my storage shed.Northern Rider said:Flip, I'll weigh a conti for you in the morning.

I understand your concern for the total unsprung weight. I am looking for light 20" alloy wheels as well for summer use.
Probably good news all around. A quality 20" low profile tire will be lighter than the Conti boat anchors. I figure you're good for up to 32 lbs on the 20" rims, but the lighter the better.flipmode said:Dam.....thanks, it does help. I don't know what is more suprising....the heaviness of the tire or the "lightness" of the wheel.....thanks again.
Northern, I too have been looking for a good light weight tire wheel combo. I contacted TIS on the weight of the 01s. It is a whopping 35 lbs for the wheel. OMG.Northern Rider said:Probably good news all around. A quality 20" low profile tire will be lighter than the Conti boat anchors.

So it's back to the search for a light, good looking 20" rim that's under $500.00 a piece.
