Dodge Challenger Wheels

I have to chime in here, as I've seen this debate / misinformation elsewhere. I have a 2010 Challenger at home and several new Chargers at work. The new cars use the Mercedes bolt pattern (always have) and it is ever so slightly off from the 5x4.5 bolt pattern. I'm refraining from stating the mm sizes because I forget what they are at the moment. However, the sizes referenced above sound about right.

With that said, the new wheels WILL "slide on" the older bolt circle, but it doesn't fit exact, like a wheel SHOULD fit. You can get it to go on and you can bolt it up, but you will be forcing (bending and stressing) the wheel studs to do so when you tighten the lugs.

I've seen them used on old Mopars every once in a while, but in my view, it is dangerous to do so. Plus, yes, the backspacing is wacky when used on the old cars. I saw some new Charger wheels on an old Road Runner and it looked funky IMO.

OK, I feel better now. :)
