all you need is a 5mm spacer to clear the caliper. they would fit the 06 300 as they have smaller brakes.

i had the same issue on my old LS due to the bigger brake caliper. i had issues with the sandwich plate spacer, so i opted for the spacers with built in studs like the one pictured below.




also when pushing the wheels further out, fender mods maybe required to prevent rubbing

Do you mean the stock tire size of 245/40R18? Because I don't run those super skinny tires just stock tires.

yea my mistake, i assumed 20's which would be a 245/30. whenever i see a rubbing question i automatically jump to that because 95% of the time thats the issues.

Ok good so I shouldn't have any issues then? I just wanted a different set of wheels for summer and winter but wanted to keep everything pretty stock.
