I have a set of 20's on my '03............they look tight! 20X8 up front fitted with 245/40s and 20X10 in the rear fitted with 275/35s.:)

Does that give you the same ride height as stock? Any rubbing?

If you want to keep the rake and proper front/rear ratio, 245/40-20 front and 275/40-20 rear. This will keep roughly the same height as stock.

You could go with 245/45-20 or 255/45-20 rear but a matching front in 245/40-20 will have to be a different brand.

I hear the Chrysler 300c SRT-8 will have 245/45-20 front and 255/45-20 rear.

Lets do the math:

Front Tires
235/50R18 28.2" Tall, and goes 716 Revolutions/Mile
245/40R20 27.7" Tall, and goes 728 Revolutions/Mile

Rear Tires
245/55R18 28.6" Tall and goes 705 Revolutions/Mile
275/35R20 27.6" Tall And Goes 731 Revolutions/Mile

So the rear 'dubs' with tires are shorter than the front ones, only by 1/10 of an inch, but overall an inch shorter than factory rears. A nono if you have an 04.....
