Here's an idea I've been tinkering around with since TheLoverThatNeverDies put his 17"s on. A few of the problems might be the width and offset. The other's Shawn's come out pretty far and they're only 17xwhatever... The ones I want are 20X9s. I know Javi just said his are 20x8.5" so they should work, just the offset might be a factor... Also, these are chrome showcar versions. The actually ones will be polished alumimun.  |

Oh man, that looks tight. Those are the wheels from the 300C SRT8 or something right.
They looks sweet.

They're nice rims but they're too "boxy" for the classic. I think they'd look great on the 2nd gen, though.

Javi, almost, they're off the Magnum SRT-8. The photoshopped pic doesn't help, but they're somewhat curvy. The spokes curve inward towards the center and the edges are klinda rounded. I kinda like a contrast in the wheels, plain wheels with a complex car. But they're OEM rims, so they should be of decent quality and pretty light given their 20"s.  |

GRRR... For some reason, the pic won't display for me. All I'm getting is a red X.  Too bad too, cuz I'd like to see what you have up your sleeve ;D |

SWEET! Thanks for hooking it up. I think those would look great - You'd just have to join me in the hunt for Olds center caps  As for the width issue, I don't think you'd have a problem. The 300C and the 300C SRT-8 are identical body wise, and the SRT-8 wheels don't seem to stick out too much from the fenders. Thus, I can only assume that the width of the SRT-8 wheels is compensated by a drastic offset. Just my opinion - You'd have to look up the offset to be sure. Either way - I like it and great p/shop work too BTW!! -Shawn |

The stock 17" almost come out to the fender (on the Chryslers'), and the SRT-8 wheels come to about the same spot. I bet you, there's a lot of clearance on the inside of the wheels your car. The problem will be finding a set. If anyone is friend's with someone at a Dodge dealership please let me know. |
