Re: [Chrysler300] 300 L wheels & tires

[Jack Farris <j2farris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a 66/300, which is very similar to a '65. A few years ago I  
put disc brakes from a '70 NYer on the front of my '66. In order for  
the rotors and calipers to fit I had to abandon the stock 14" wheels  
and use 15 inchers. For rubber I went with 225/70/15 tires. From the  
looks of all the room in my wheel wells, I think could easily have  
used 75-series tires. You may want to consider 70-series. You will  
have a skoch more room and possibly slightly better handling.
