I dropped into the Coker site, not to buy times but to look at the OD. I ran across this:

33.3 inches tall!

Subject: Re: {Chrysler 300} Max Wheel Size
Also from the 'for what it's worth' category,
I use Hancook Optima 225/75/R15 on my G to get a 'taller' tire to help fill the wheel wells. They perform well with no interference issues, but a 'day two' thinner whitewall than original, but only about
$80 each.
On my Hurst I have 235/70/R15 raised white letter tires called Mastercraft Courser HTR from Town Fair Tire (discount tire store in New England).
They provide a nice look for the Hurst and seem to handle and ride well and are also under $100 each the last time I bought them. Sadly, tires need to be replaced due to age/time on my old cars before any
wear issues occur, so it's hard to justify $1000 for a set of 'correct' tires that I'll have to throw away over safety concerns rather than wear.
No issues with wheel covers or trim rings ever (so far).
For what it's worth, I anticipated wheel covers coming off when I first bought my F. A friend of mine had told me of his experience of losing wheel covers on long
trips and on winding roads.
My solution was to apply extra layers of black paint on the wheels in the areas where the tangs would bite. I also bent the tangs on the covers a bit so they would
grab a tighter grip. The bottom line is that the covers are a bit harder to put on and get off, but the end result is not having to find and buy another expensive cover somewhere. 20,000 miles later, I still have the same covers on my wheels.

These embossed protrusions were to keep the wheel cover in place. If you don't have these, you can line the rim with a good fabric tape. Wheel covers stay in place.
