2008 Chrysler 300 Wheel Interchange

2008 Chrysler 300 Wheel Fitment and Interchange Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2008 Chrysler 300

The values below are the OEM specifications we have on record for at least one 2008 Chrysler 300 factory configuration. Trims and option packages can vary. Always verify against your door-jamb tire label, owner’s manual, and the on-page calculator before buying.

Note: The wheel and tire values shown may reflect different factory packages that were available in 2008. If your door sticker shows a different size, use that size as your baseline and confirm with the calculator and OEM sources.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

The calculator lets you compare donor wheels and tires to your Chrysler 300 and test custom sizes safely.

• Set Installed on to 2008 Chrysler 300. Enter your exact OEM wheel and tire from your door sticker or owner’s manual.
• Set Wheels from to the donor vehicle you are considering. The calculator will show bolt pattern match and clearance changes if you enter rim width and offset.
• Use Custom wheel size to try a new rim diameter, width, and offset. As you change rim width or offset, watch inner and outer clearance to suspension and fender.
• Use Custom tire size to adjust section width and aspect ratio. The tool updates overall tire diameter so you can keep it within about ±3 percent of your OEM tire diameter.
• Review brake caliper clearance, scrub radius effects, poke, and backspacing changes. If any value turns critical, revise width or offset until it clears.
• Before purchasing, print or save the comparison and cross-check with OEM service data or a professional shop.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

Run through this list to avoid vibration, rubbing, or unsafe handling.

• Bolt pattern must be 5x115. Do not force-fit 5x114.3 unless the wheel manufacturer explicitly supports your vehicle with an engineered PCD solution and proper hardware.
• Center bore must seat on 71.5 mm. If your wheel bore is larger, plan hub-centric rings sized to 71.5 mm inner. A smaller bore will not fit.
• Thread size is M14 x 1.5. Use lug nuts or bolts that match both your vehicle thread and the wheel’s seat type as specified by the wheel maker.
• Offset is critical. OEM reference is ET 24 mm. Use the calculator to compare any new offset to OEM and confirm inner and outer clearance.
• Overall tire diameter should remain close to OEM. Use the calculator to stay within about ±3 percent to protect ABS, speedometer accuracy, and AWD systems if equipped.
• Brake clearance. Test fit to ensure spokes clear calipers and the barrel clears brake hardware.
• Suspension and fender clearance. Check inner strut clearance on full lock and compression, and outer fender clearance under load.
• Load rating. Wheels and tires must meet or exceed the vehicle’s GAWR and load index listed on the door label.
• TPMS. Many 2008 vehicles use TPMS. Inspect, service, or transfer sensors as needed and perform relearn.
• Backspacing. Confirm with the calculator and by measurement. Backspacing varies with width and offset, so verify before purchase.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing increases wheel diameter while choosing a tire with a shorter sidewall so the overall diameter stays close to stock. Use the on-page calculator to model options and keep the overall diameter within about ±3 percent of your OEM tire.

• Start with your actual OEM tire from the door label. If your OEM size is 215/65R17 as shown above, its overall diameter is roughly 28.0 in. Use that as your baseline.
• Trying a larger wheel. Increase rim diameter in Custom wheel size, then reduce tire aspect ratio in Custom tire size until the calculator shows a diameter within the target range.
• Mind the offset. As wheels get wider, offset often needs to change to maintain inner clearance. Use the calculator to balance inner clearance and outer poke relative to ET 24 mm.
• Avoid staggered tire diameters on AWD. If your 300 is AWD, keep front and rear rolling diameters matched.
• Road use vs show use. Aggressive fitments that poke outside fenders may rub during turns or over bumps. Prioritize safe clearance for daily driving.

Installation Tips

• Test fit each wheel on the hub to confirm center bore seating and caliper clearance before mounting tires.
• Clean the hub face and wheel mounting pad. Remove rust and debris to ensure the wheel sits flush.
• Use hub-centric rings if the wheel bore is larger than 71.5 mm. Verify the ring seats fully.
• Hand start all lug nuts, then tighten in a star pattern. Final torque to the OEM specification listed in your owner’s manual using a calibrated torque wrench. Do not rely on an impact gun for final torque.
• Set cold tire pressure to the door-jamb placard spec, not what is printed on the tire sidewall.
• Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles and after any significant temperature change.
• If you changed wheel width or offset, schedule an alignment to protect tire wear and handling.

FAQs

• What is the bolt pattern for the 2008 Chrysler 300?

  5x115. Any replacement wheel should match this pattern unless an engineered solution is explicitly specified by the wheel manufacturer for this vehicle.

• Will 5x114.3 wheels fit my 300?

  It is not recommended to force-fit 5x114.3 on 5x115 hubs. Only consider it if the wheel maker certifies compatibility for your vehicle and supplies the proper hardware. The safest choice is an exact 5x115 wheel.

• What center bore do I need?

  71.5 mm. A wheel with a larger bore can be centered with rings. A smaller bore will not fit over the hub.

• What lug nuts does it use?

  Thread size is M14 x 1.5. The seat type must match the wheel design. Always torque to the OEM specification from your owner’s manual.

• What offset works best?

  The OEM reference is ET 24 mm on a 7.5 in wide wheel. Use the calculator to compare any new width or offset to OEM and ensure proper inner and outer clearance.

• Can I run larger wheels?

  Yes, if you keep overall tire diameter close to stock and maintain safe clearances. Use the calculator to model tire sizes so overall diameter stays within about ±3 percent of your OEM baseline.

• Do I have TPMS and can I reuse sensors?

  Many 2008 vehicles include TPMS. Check your dash for the TPMS indicator or your owner’s manual. Sensors can often be transferred or replaced, and a relearn procedure may be required.

• Why does the backspacing number not match my calculation?

  Backspacing depends on measured rim width and offset. The figure shown above was reported for a specific configuration. Use the calculator with your exact width and offset to compute the precise backspacing for your setup.

Important: Wheel and tire fitment can vary by trim and brake package. Always verify with your door-jamb label, owner’s manual, OEM parts catalog, and the on-page calculator before purchase or installation.
