    What other Tire Sizes can You use on your Chrysler? Salvage Yard Tires.

    These are some Chrysler vehicles of interest to this site and the corresponding tire sizes.

    Tire shopping at auto wrecking yards can yield bargain gems of the tire world. Twice, i've found a set of 4 15" Aluminum rims from the higher end Acclaim and Dynasty with good tires (70% tread) already balanced for $140/set. And! No tire disposal fee AND they took the old tires off of my steel rims. $140 for 4 aluminum wheels and 4 good tires because almost no one wants Chrysler and 5 lug 5 x 100 doesn't seem to be a popular wheel mount size. Granted these are factory wheels for the cars with sporting or luxury packages and not special GLH or GLHS wheels but come on, $140 for 4 wheels and 4 good balanced tires. Why shop anywhere else?

    Steel rims are: 14 x 5.5JJ
    Aluminum rims are: 14 x 6JJ or 15 x 6JJ
    European cars got: 15 x 6.5JJ and from pictures these are aluminum rims.

    I like my 225/60r15 balloons. Hate small tires on our stock bland rims.

    My Wagon wheels had some 205/50's or 60's on them when I got them at the junkyard. I remember what a huge difference that was in ride/turns over 195/70r14 teardrops.

    The 2nd gen (2001-2003) Neon R/T's all actually got 195/50/16's. 25.2" tires would be way way too tall for them.
