DON'T DO IT! Get the correct shoes. Maybe you just have to pay more and go to a Chrysler dealer and get the correct ones.

BTW, I sometimes buy Subaru and Toyota parts, and there are some places that sell genuine parts on the Internet at a significant discount. They are actually the parts department of an official dealer, but they are sort of coy about it, probably to avoid p***ing off the manufacturer.

For example, once I needed rear shocks for a Subaru. The local dealer quoted me something like $105. The internet dealer said: "It lists for $95, but our price is $85". And they were genuine Subaru parts.
