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

with 5mm i think he'll be ok as long as he has the 245/30 tires and not 35

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.
