14s were stock Mick :-P

I've got 15x5.5s and 185/55 rubber...no problems at all. I'm about to put 195/50s on the back, then try running wider rubber still. 205s in the correct ratio are supposed to fit AOK.

Does anyone have a photo of a 300 with these 14' wheels from a 440?

Somewhere in the vast collection I have such a picture, but locating it is another issue, I'll see what I can do, I seem to think it was a white car from the side and quite a poor pic, but gives the idea.

Yeah I have a pic of one with them alloys too - I think Pete sent it me in the first place, but its on my other hard disk in my old PC!

195/50s are fine on my rims, I think I might even consider 205's next time round.

Found a pic, not the one I remembered, but it's a saloon too. Anyway........

Also my car is rolling on 15" Vesa alloys from a 480 GT, 195/50 Toyo Proxes.

You're welcome mate! From your photoshop thread I think they'd look better in the graphite colour too, something to change the look, however they look a bit hubcappish! However they do suit the 300 better than the 400!

Bone stock...just probably with mildly sagged springs.

I know James, just not my rims

Very true, but there were hardly likely to be any rubbing problems with them being a stock size...it was a pretty safe buy! :)

cheers

Everything under 17inches is for girly-men... Hehe :P

But seriously, the car looks GREAT with 17 inch wheels.. i think that the 13/14" is to small.. I'll settle for 15inch 440 winter-rims to the winter.. :)

Joking aside, Al used to have 17s on his first black 360, and it looked pretty sweet...
