Re: Wheel Sizing for 300K?

["Steve Mick" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 With my 56 Chrysler with 15" rims, I wanted chrome reverse and had to get a deep offset . They were 8 " wide and with the offset I had fender lip clearance problems. *The problem is, the brake hub is made with a sustancial taper from the outside edge of the drum to the surface that the rim is against.  Different wheels may have enough clearance.  You may have to go to 17" wheels. Better try whatever rims you select for clearance before you buy..........................MO

Subject: Wheel Sizing for 300K?

Hi All,
Looking to get a set of Torq Thrust wheels for my 300K. Currently looking at a set that's either 15x8 or 15x8.5. Can someone please advise whether these wheels will fit the car without drama (e.g., little or no tire rub except in hard turns)?

Also, I was told that 235x55-17 is very close in diameter to the OEM wheels of 8.00x14. Does this sound right? (Unsure whether I should stick with 15" wheels or consider bumping up to 17" rims?)

Appreciate any and all thoughts on the matter.

Best,
