Wheel Sizes

[SilverTurtle]

I can seam to find a thread about the wheel and tire sizes that fit on a 300.

Also what is the biggest i can go with a 300, without having to change the suspension and lower it, and without it looking like an SUV. If i decide to go with 20's what tire size is recomanded ?

You have a number of options, here are the most popular.

255/45/20 on a 8.5" wheel F/R (that's what I run)
275/40/20 on about a 8.5-9.5" wheel F/R
245/45/20 on a 8-8.5" Front 275/40/20 on a 8.5-10" wheel rear

There are other options like I said such as 245/45/20 F/R plus wider than 275 tires on the rear too.

If you want to use the same size tire front and rear I recommend either the 255/45/20 or the 275/40/20. In my personal opinion I think the 255/45 fills the wheel well up a little better than the 275/40 since it's about .4" taller.

You can get away with 20" 22" 24" without doing any modding. Only thing for 24" is shaving down the bolt. 22" work fine with either a 255/30/22 tire or a 265/35/22 tire which I prefer over the 30 series tire. 24" will work fine with a 255/30/24 or a 275/25/24 tire but still requires shaving the bolt. I would go with either the 20" or the 22" since you don't want to be riding too high. Good luck with whatever you choose.

i think i will stick with 20's as i dont want the ride quality to suffer.

i once saw a diagram that explains what every number means in tires and how they change the look, cant seem to find it anymore.
