2011 Chrysler 300 Wheel Interchange

2011 Chrysler 300 Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2011 Chrysler 300

The values below reflect information provided for at least one factory wheel and tire package on the 2011 Chrysler 300. Chrysler offered multiple wheel and tire packages this model year, so some specs vary by trim and option package. Always verify your exact setup on your door-jamb tire label and owner’s manual, and confirm measurements with the on-page calculator.

Note: The tire size shown indicates a 17 inch package was offered, while the wheel data above shows an 18 inch package. This is normal across trims. Identify your stock size on the driver door-jamb label, then compare changes using the calculator.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

Use our calculator to compare a donor wheel and tire to your 2011 Chrysler 300. It shows inner and outer clearance changes, poke, ride height change, and speedometer impact.

• Step 1: In Wheels from (donor vehicle), enter the size of the wheels and tires you are considering. If you do not know the donor vehicle, use Custom wheel size and Custom tire size to enter the exact rim diameter, width, offset, and tire dimensions.
• Step 2: In Installed on (your vehicle), select 2011 Chrysler 300. If your exact OEM size is different from the values shown above, enter your actual stock wheel and tire specs from your door-jamb label and wheel markings.
• Step 3: Adjust Custom wheel size. As you change rim width or offset, watch inner clearance to suspension and outer poke to the fender line. Increasing width or reducing offset pushes the wheel outward. Increasing offset pulls the wheel inward.
• Step 4: Adjust Custom tire size. The calculator automatically updates overall tire diameter. Keep overall diameter close to stock to maintain speedometer accuracy. A common guideline is within about 3 percent of stock, but always verify real-world clearance at full lock and compression.
• Step 5: Review the comparison summary. Confirm brake caliper clearance, inner strut clearance, fender clearance, and speedometer change. Print or save the results before purchasing.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern: Your 2011 Chrysler 300 uses 5x115. Do not use 5x114.3 wheels without a properly engineered adapter system. Mixing patterns can overload studs and is unsafe.
• Center bore: 71.5 mm hub. Aftermarket wheels with a larger center bore should be used with quality hub-centric rings sized to 71.5 mm inner bore to reduce vibration. If the wheel bore is smaller than 71.5 mm it will not fit.
• Offset and width: Verify inner clearance to strut, spring perch, and brake caliper, and outer clearance to fender and liner. Use the calculator to visualize changes when you alter width and offset.
• Brake clearance: Spoke design matters. Even with correct diameter and offset, some designs may contact calipers. Always test fit a front wheel first.
• Lug nuts and seats: Thread size is M14 x 1.5. Lug seat style can vary by wheel design. Match the lug seat type to the wheel’s seat (conical, ball, or mag). Do not mix seat types.
• TPMS: The 2011 Chrysler 300 uses direct tire pressure sensors. Plan to transfer your sensors or purchase compatible replacements and perform the required relearn procedure.
• Load rating: Wheels and tires must meet or exceed the vehicle’s GAWR and the original tire load index shown on your door-jamb label.
• Speedometer and ABS: Keep overall tire diameter close to stock. Large changes can affect ABS, traction control, and shift points.
• Ride height and rubbing: After installation, check clearance at full steering lock and over bumps. Inspect front and rear, inside and outside edges.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing increases wheel diameter and typically uses a lower-profile tire to keep overall diameter close to stock. The 2011 Chrysler 300 was offered with multiple factory wheel packages, so owners often explore plus sizes. Actual fitment depends on your brake package and chosen wheel specs.

• Plus 0: Wider wheel with similar diameter. Example workflow: compare a modest width increase with a carefully chosen offset in the calculator to preserve inner clearance.
• Plus 1 or Plus 2: Larger wheel diameter with lower-profile tire to maintain overall diameter near stock. Use the calculator to ensure speedometer change and clearances stay acceptable.
• Staggered setups: Physically possible on rear-wheel-drive sedans, but verify rotation limitations and ensure the rear tire load index meets or exceeds OEM. Use the calculator for both axles.

Always verify with a physical test fit before mounting tires. What clears on paper can still interfere due to spoke shape, barrel profile, or manufacturing tolerances.

Installation Tips

• Prepare the hub: Clean the hub face and center pilot with a wire brush to remove rust. A thin smear of high-temp anti-seize on the hub pilot can help prevent future sticking. Do not apply lubricant to stud threads or lug seats unless specified by the manufacturer.
• Hub-centric rings: If using rings to adapt a larger wheel bore to 71.5 mm, seat the ring fully in the wheel and verify it sits flush on the hub.
• Mounting: Hand-start all lug nuts, then snug in a star pattern to center the wheel.
• Torque: Final-tighten lugs with a calibrated torque wrench in a star pattern to the torque specified in your owner’s manual. Re-check torque after 50 to 100 miles.
• TPMS: Transfer or install compatible sensors and complete the relearn procedure per the service manual or a TPMS tool.
• Final checks: With the car on the ground, turn lock-to-lock and drive slowly over a bump to listen for rubbing. Inspect inner and outer clearances.

FAQs

• What is the bolt pattern for the 2011 Chrysler 300?

  5x115.

• Can I use 5x114.3 wheels on a 5x115 Chrysler 300?

  This is not recommended. The mismatch can stress studs and cause vibration or failure. Use only correct 5x115 wheels or professionally engineered adaptors designed for this application, then verify clearances with the calculator and a test fit.

• What is the center bore and do I need hub-centric rings?

  The hub bore is 71.5 mm. If your aftermarket wheel bore is larger, use quality hub-centric rings sized to 71.5 mm inner bore. If the wheel bore is smaller than 71.5 mm the wheel will not seat.

• What lug nuts do I need?

  The thread size is M14 x 1.5. Lug seat style depends on the wheel design. Match the seat type exactly to the wheel seat and follow the torque spec in your owner’s manual.

• What tire sizes came stock?

  Factory packages varied by trim. An example provided for 2011 is 215/65R17, and a wheel spec provided is 18 x 7.5 ET 24. Check your door-jamb label or owner’s manual to confirm your exact OEM size, then use the calculator to compare changes.

• Will 20 inch wheels fit my 2011 Chrysler 300?

  Fitment depends on brake package, wheel width, offset, and tire size. Use the calculator to keep overall diameter close to stock and verify inner and outer clearances. Always test fit before mounting tires.

• What lug nut torque should I use?

  Torque varies by vehicle and wheel. Refer to the Chrysler owner’s manual or service information for the exact torque and recheck after 50 to 100 miles.

• Do I need new TPMS sensors?

  You can typically transfer existing sensors if compatible with the new wheels. If buying new sensors, ensure they are compatible with the 2011 Chrysler 300 system and perform the relearn procedure.
