[Chrysler300] Mag size feedback for 300L

["Jj" <vjhemi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all, some feedback concerning this question i posted a while back.
Firstly thanks to all who replied personally and gave me advice!
I successfully installed 8x15" American racing torque thrust II rims
front and back with 225/60 R15 tyres. I was told not to go bigger then
7" in width but the 8" fit fine without any fuss during installation,
but i would not go bigger in tyre diameter then 225. Note - you have
to jack the vehicle up under the chassis rail and not under the
diff/suspension bracket to give adequate clearance when installing.
These classic style rims have transformed the vehicle completely!
cheers and happy cruising
Jeff in Oz
