Hey guys so I have no spare tire for my 2005 300c I am wondering what is the smallest full size tire I could run I know the stock 2256018 won't fit in the spare spot in the trunk so wondering if I could go a smaller rim that might fit but I don't know if a smaller rim will clear the brakes any one know how small I could go ?

So would a stock 17 inch from a v6 model work as a spare or are the brakes on the v8 models too big ?

Worst case scenario , you can keep it as a back up or throw it in trunk if you plan on going on long trips. its alot bigger of a tire and wheel then what you see in my profile pic. |
