Donno but i needed a set of 3mm spacers for the front for the 300 srt8 wheels on my 300c.
This might apply here too.

Finally, some action on this thread.

Yeah... just got a 2008 300c Cool Vanilla Heritage Edition. Looking to put some flat black Viper wheels on it. Any input is helpful. It sounds like these are not a direct fit, but that spacers are needed.

Also - I belive the stock Heritage wheel is 19" correct? Are the vipers 20+"? Do 20's fit, or do I have to mod the suspension?

There are guys running on 26" with very VERY basic modding. 20's are no problem.

Your rims are 18"(the C is a RT)

I just added a 3mm spacer so I could be on the safe side. 17,XXX miles not one problem

Did I misunderstand or do you have to put some kind of adapter / spacer when swapping out the stock 18" wheels for stock 20" SRT wheels? I thought they were a direct bolt-on?

Also, Hemi, i'll buy your stock Heritage grille if you plan on replacing it.

There a direct "bolt on", but the offset will cause a rub, thus a 3mm spacer is needed.

Now the after marker factory repoductions dont need a spacer, but I ran such a wide tire that I need a little space to be safe.

No Spacer needed on Viper Wheels or any other Factory Reproductions wheel on a 5.7 or an SRT

Is there something special about the Heritage grill? I do plan on replacing it, but not right away.

I do not have a spacer on mine. No rubbing in the front and I run 245x45x20's on my srt8 charger. 285x40x20's on the rear with the staggered set up 20x9 and 20x10.

The heritage grille should be all chrome as opposed to chrome with grey inserts.

I'm blown away on the spacer thing for the wheels... I guess that the track ( width ) on the SRT's must be wider or different knuckles and control arms front and rear?

Sorry to hijack your thread in a way - hope you've found a answer to your question. As long as your putting a wheel made by Factory Reproductions on your car, it should fit without any modifications.

Thanks for the comments guys! Grille is just a OG E&G. Suspension is TEIN Coilovers.

Any photoshop guys in here? Can someone photoshop the rims on Mdot's 300 pic above?

I'd like to see those same rims in flat black & also gloss black.

Thanks,
