I suppose there's nothing stopping you from throwing on some pitbull tires and hitting the mud other than the ground clearance issues... but I wouldn't... if you wanted to go mudding you should by my 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer...

I agree..get a truck, seriously speaking. Besides, tie rods and front end are known issues on these cars.

Here's my advice for off roading a 300. Grab your keys, start your car, and drive to a dealership and get rid of your car.

I would never off road, no clearance. I have driven in about a foot of snow and still it does amazing. That is as much as I want to get into.

If I'm not mistaken the only mods for the 300 are bling or zing. I haven't seen mudding for the 300.

see thas what im talkin about. And I already thought of the clearance issues, see imma put air ride on my whip and jus jack her up when i'm muddin and drop her down when im cruzin wimins. I just don't know if you guys think i should get different wheels and tires or if the stock ones might be good enough. thanks in advance.

Wow, off roading with an AWD 300. Now I have seen everything.
WTH, is next? Entering your 300 in a freakin demo derby?
Sounds like the only thing you haven't tried.
Both of my 300-C's are cowering in the garage, hiding underneath their car covers just knowing someone treats their 300 this way. Even my Mini Cooper S is shocked beyond belief. And my 4x4 Ranger wonders WTF?

I've got an awd, and it showed winter who's boss this year. But I even avoid dirt roads at all costs. Not because it can't handle it, but because a paint chip or worse would kill me. You could go for it I guess, but as was already said, the front end is rather problematic on the 300. You'll need some upgrades along with those tires...
Good luck?

Seriously... $2500 and she's all yours! Edelbrock Intake and Carb, new battery, power seats, windows, less than 300 miles on the BFG T/A TKOs, a little bit of rust on the rear quarters, it will need a new alternator. (Local pickup only)

Watching that video of a 300 off road made me cringe beyond belief. Its really not my thing but hey to each his own. Post some shots or videos of your ride if you start doing it, I'm curious.
