Can 5 x 4.5 Wheels Fit The 5 x 4.52 Lug Wheel Bolt Pattern on Chrysler 300? 

Yes, guaranteed that you jam the bolts a bit harder than usual to slot them in the holes. After all, the difference between their diameters is not that huge; some well-placed adjustments here and there are enough to make them fit perfectly.

Is It Possible to Update Chrysler 300 5-Lug Pattern to 6-Lug?

Technically, you can. It’s just that most experts are unsure whether it is a great idea; all other compartments on Chrysler 300 are specifically designed to fit 5-lug wheel patterns, and it has remained so since as early as 2004. 

You might have to spend quite a fortune renovating the entire wheel hub to ensure no incompatibility issues. 

How Much Does It Cost to Replace The Chrysler 300 Lug Nuts? 

Most manufacturing and wheel shops will charge you about $52 to $59 for the tasks. However, you can significantly reduce the number by removing the swollen nuts yourself and buying replacement lugs later.

While the idea of using cheap lugs sounds tempting, it is actually much wiser to purchase the best-quality nuts. As they can stand strong against all types of external damage, you no longer have to drop by a car service often and hence, saving lots of bucks on repair costs. 

Conclusion

The Chrysler 300 lug pattern has undergone no changes since 2004, which is quite convenient. After all, a quick scour on the Internet can easily tell you what lug pattern your Chrysler 300 has; there is no need to take out your ruler or measuring tape!
