2014 Dodge Charger Wheel Fitment Guide
Known OEM Fitment For 2014 Dodge Charger
The specifications below are the known fitment values supplied for this 2014 Dodge Charger page. They may represent only part of the vehicle's available trim or package information. Confirm the exact wheel and tire specifications using the driver's door-jamb label, the owner's manual, the original wheel markings, and Dodge service information before purchasing parts.

There is an apparent diameter mismatch in the supplied data: the wheel value is 18 inches, while the tire rim diameter value is R17. Do not assume that these values describe one complete wheel and tire assembly. A tire marked R17 fits a 17-inch wheel, not an 18-inch wheel. Confirm the correct tire size and wheel diameter from the vehicle label and the tire sidewall before ordering.
How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
Use the calculator to compare a donor vehicle's wheel specifications with the wheels you plan to install on your 2014 Dodge Charger. Select the donor vehicle under “Wheels from” and the Charger under “Installed on.” Review bolt pattern, center bore, wheel width, diameter, offset, backspacing, and tire dimensions together rather than relying on one measurement.
The calculator also allows custom wheel and tire entries. Enter the proposed rim diameter, rim width, and offset under “Custom wheel size,” then enter the tire section width and aspect ratio under “Custom tire size.” When you change the rim diameter, the calculator updates the tire diameter in the comparison. This is useful for reviewing diameter changes, but it does not replace a physical clearance check or confirmation of the vehicle's required load and speed ratings.
Use the calculator as a screening tool, not as a final approval. Verify the result against OEM documentation and inspect brake, suspension, fender, and inner-wheel clearance on the actual vehicle.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
- Confirm the 5x115 bolt pattern and ensure the wheel's lug-seat design matches the required lug nuts.
- Check that the wheel center bore is suitable for the vehicle's 71.6 mm hub. A larger bore may require correctly sized hub-centric rings, while a smaller bore will not fit over the hub.
- Verify the wheel diameter, width, and ET offset. Do not rely on a wheel appearing similar in photographs.
- Compare backspacing and inner clearance to the strut, brake caliper, suspension components, and other nearby parts.
- Check outer clearance to the fender lip and wheel-well liner during steering and suspension movement.
- Confirm the replacement tire's rim diameter matches the wheel. The supplied R17 tire value must not be mounted on an 18-inch rim.
- Match or exceed the vehicle manufacturer's required tire load index and speed rating.
- Confirm that the tire's approved rim-width range includes the selected wheel width.
- Inspect used wheels for cracks, bends, corrosion around the bead seat, damaged lug holes, and repaired areas.
- After installation, check tire pressure using the vehicle label, not the maximum pressure molded into the tire sidewall.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
Plus sizing changes the wheel diameter while aiming to maintain a similar overall tire diameter. It can alter ride comfort, steering response, tire availability, speedometer behavior, and clearance. Because the supplied data contains both an 18-inch rim value and an R17 tire value, calculate any proposed combination from the verified vehicle label and the actual wheel being used.
When evaluating a larger or wider wheel, compare the complete package: wheel width, offset, backspacing, tire section width, sidewall height, and overall diameter. A wheel that matches the bolt pattern can still contact the brakes, suspension, or bodywork. Do not assume that a donor wheel is safe solely because its bolt pattern is 5x115.
For any upgrade, confirm the tire manufacturer's approved rim-width range, the required load and speed ratings, and clearance at full steering lock and through the available suspension travel. If the vehicle has electronic tire-pressure monitoring, verify sensor compatibility and follow the vehicle's relearn procedure after installation.
Installation Tips
Clean the hub mounting face and the wheel's mating surface before installation. Rust, dirt, paint buildup, or burrs can prevent the wheel from sitting flat and may cause loosening or vibration.
Install only the correct lug nuts for the wheel's lug-seat type and thread requirements. The known thread size is M14 x 1.5, but thread size alone does not identify the correct seat shape or nut style. Tighten the lugs in a star pattern, lower the vehicle enough to keep the wheel from turning, and use the manufacturer's torque specification from an OEM or service source.
After installation, rotate each wheel by hand where practical and inspect for immediate interference. Perform a slow test drive in a safe area, then recheck lug torque after the vehicle has been driven according to the wheel manufacturer's or vehicle manufacturer's service guidance. Stop immediately if there is rubbing, vibration, steering pull, or unusual noise.
Tools And Helpful Supplies
A calibrated torque wrench, correctly sized socket, jack and approved jack stands, wheel chocks, a tire-pressure gauge, and a tread-depth gauge are useful for a safe wheel installation. Use jack stands on a solid, level surface and never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Use the vehicle service information for the exact lifting points, lug torque, tire pressure, and post-installation procedures. Product compatibility and specifications should be checked before purchase.
FAQs
Does a 5x115 wheel automatically fit the 2014 Dodge Charger?
No. Bolt pattern is only one fitment measurement. Center bore, lug-seat design, wheel width, offset, backspacing, brake clearance, tire size, and load requirements must also be checked.
What is the known center bore for this 2014 Dodge Charger fitment?
The supplied center bore value is 71.6 mm. Confirm the hub and wheel measurements before using hub-centric rings or purchasing aftermarket wheels.
What wheel offset is listed for this page?
The supplied wheel offset is ET24, or 24 mm. Offset affects both inner and outer clearance, so compare it with wheel width and backspacing in the calculator.
Can the supplied R17 tire value be used on the supplied 18-inch rim?
No. A tire marked R17 is designed for a 17-inch rim. The supplied 18-inch rim value and R17 tire value should be treated as conflicting until the door-jamb label, tire sidewall, and OEM documentation confirm the correct combination.
How can I compare wheels from another vehicle?
Use “Wheels from” for the donor vehicle and “Installed on” for the 2014 Dodge Charger. Compare every available measurement, then use the custom wheel and tire fields for a specific proposed combination. Confirm the result with the donor wheel markings and a physical clearance check.
Do aftermarket wheels need hub-centric rings?
If an aftermarket wheel has a center bore larger than 71.6 mm, correctly sized hub-centric rings may help center it on the hub. Rings do not correct an incorrect bolt pattern, offset, wheel width, lug-seat design, or brake clearance. A wheel with a smaller center bore will not fit over the hub without proper machining by a qualified specialist.
What should I verify before driving after a wheel change?
Verify correct lug nuts, even wheel seating, lug torque, tire pressure, valve and TPMS function where applicable, and clearance through steering movement. Recheck for looseness, rubbing, vibration, or unusual noise after the initial drive.
