2012 Chrysler 300 Wheel Interchange

2012 Chrysler 300 Wheel Fitment And Interchange Guide | wheelinterchange.com

Known OEM Fitment For 2012 Chrysler 300

The values below are the fitment data currently available for the 2012 Chrysler 300. Some trims and packages may use different wheel and tire sizes. Always verify against your VIN sticker, owner’s manual, and the on-page calculator before purchasing.

Note: The listed rim diameter and tire size do not match each other, which suggests trim variation or incomplete data. If your door-jamb tire label and owner’s manual show a different size, follow those OEM sources. Use the calculator below to confirm overall tire diameter and clearances for your exact setup.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

The calculator compares a donor wheel and tire to what will be installed on your 2012 Chrysler 300. It also lets you try custom wheel and tire sizes and see how changes affect clearance and speedometer error.

• Start with your vehicle: Set Installed on to 2012 Chrysler 300. If your tire label does not match the sizes above, enter your actual OEM wheel and tire sizes from the door sticker.
• Set the donor: Pick the Wheels from vehicle or manually enter the donor wheel specs you are considering.
• Adjust Custom wheel size: Change rim diameter, rim width, and offset to match the aftermarket wheel you want to test.
• Adjust Custom tire size: Change section width and aspect ratio. The calculator will update tire diameter automatically when you change rim diameter so you can keep overall diameter close to OEM.
• Review the comparison: Check inner clearance near the strut and control arms, outer poke relative to the fender, brake caliper clearance, speedometer change, and scrub radius effects.
• Backspacing tip: Backspacing depends on rim width and offset. If a listed backspacing conflicts with width and offset, trust measured values and the calculator’s math for your exact wheel.
• Finalize: Aim for adequate inner clearance under full steering lock and over bumps, and avoid excessive outer poke that could contact the fender liner.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern must be 5x115. Do not force-fit 5x114.3 wheels on 5x115 studs.
• Center bore must seat on 71.5 mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings with 71.5 mm inner diameter.
• Thread size is M14 x 1.5. Match lug hardware to wheel seat type and length. Verify conical vs ball seat on the specific wheel.
• Offset must clear brakes and suspension. Use the calculator to model inner clearance and outer position.
• Brake caliper clearance: Test fit. Some wheel designs have thick spokes or small barrel clearance.
• Tire load index and speed rating must meet or exceed OEM values on your door-jamb label.
• Overall tire diameter: Keep it close to OEM to protect ABS, traction control, and speedometer accuracy. Use the calculator to visualize the difference.
• TPMS: Plan to transfer sensors or install compatible replacements and perform relearn.
• Spacers: If spacers are needed for clearance, use hub-centric spacers and ensure there is enough stud engagement. Recalculate effectively reduced offset in the calculator.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing increases wheel diameter while reducing tire sidewall to keep overall tire diameter similar to stock. Example paths include moving from a smaller factory wheel to a larger aftermarket option while choosing a tire with a lower aspect ratio. The calculator helps you balance appearance, ride quality, and speedometer accuracy.

• Ride and handling: Lower profile tires can improve steering response but may ride firmer and be more vulnerable to pothole damage.
• Clearance: As rim width grows, check inner barrel to strut clearance and outer fender clearance. Offset changes have a large impact.
• AWD note: If your 300 is AWD, keep overall tire diameter consistent across all four corners. Avoid staggered rolling diameters.
• Do not use 5x114.3 wheels on a 5x115 hub. The mismatch can stress studs and compromise safety.

If your trim’s OEM size differs from the values above, set your exact factory tire size in the calculator first. Then apply plus sizing and confirm final clearances and speedometer change before buying.

Installation Tips

• Test fit one corner first. Spin the wheel by hand and check caliper, barrel, and spoke clearance before mounting tires.
• Clean the hub face and center bore. Remove rust and debris so the wheel seats flat and runs true.
• Use hub-centric rings if the aftermarket wheel bore is larger than 71.5 mm. The ring centers the wheel and reduces vibration.
• Install lugs by hand first to avoid cross-threading. Tighten in a star pattern.
• Torque to the value in your owner’s manual using a calibrated torque wrench. Recheck torque after a short drive.
• Transfer TPMS sensors or install new ones with service kits. Perform the relearn procedure for your vehicle.
• Set cold tire pressure to the door-jamb specification, not the max PSI on the tire sidewall.

FAQs

• What is the bolt pattern on the 2012 Chrysler 300?
  It is 5x115.

• What center bore does it use?
  The hub center bore is 71.5 mm.

• What lug nut thread size is correct?
  M14 x 1.5. Confirm the seat style required by your specific wheel and use matching hardware.

• Can I install 5x114.3 wheels on a 5x115 Chrysler 300?
  No. Mixing patterns can cause improper seating, stud stress, vibration, and safety issues.

• Do I need hub-centric rings?
  If the aftermarket wheel bore is larger than 71.5 mm, use rings with a 71.5 mm inner diameter to match the vehicle hub.

• What offset should I use with aftermarket wheels?
  The listed OEM offset is ET 24 mm. Other offsets may fit depending on wheel width and design, but must be verified with the calculator for inner and outer clearance. Do a physical test fit before mounting tires.

• Why do the listed rim and tire sizes not match?
  Trims can vary and data can be partial. Follow your door-jamb tire label and owner’s manual, then use the calculator to model changes accurately.

• Will my TPMS work with new wheels?
  Yes, if you transfer your sensors or install compatible replacements and perform the relearn. Use new service kits when moving sensors.

• How close should my new tire diameter be to stock?
  Keep overall diameter close to OEM to protect ABS, traction control, and speedometer accuracy. Use the calculator to see the difference before buying.

• Where can I confirm official specs?
  Use your owner’s manual, the door-jamb tire and loading label, and dealership parts data for your VIN. Then validate fitment with the on-page calculator and a physical test fit.
