2016 Dodge Charger Wheel Interchange

2016 Dodge Charger Wheel Interchange And Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2016 Dodge Charger

The data below reflects individual OEM specs confirmed for certain 2016 Charger packages. The tire size and wheel size listed may come from different factory packages and are not guaranteed to be a matched pair. Trims and brake packages vary. Always confirm your exact factory setup on your door-jamb placard, owner’s manual, or by using the calculator on this page.

If your trim shows different wheel or tire sizes, that is normal. The 2016 Charger was offered with multiple wheel and brake packages that change rim diameter, rim width, offset and tire size. Do not assume interchange without verification.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

• Set “Installed on” to 2016 Dodge Charger so the calculator uses your hub specs and clearances as the baseline.
• Enter your current OEM wheel and tire sizes from your door-jamb placard or owner’s manual. If you only know some values, enter what you have and use the defaults for the rest, then refine as you confirm.
• To compare a donor wheel, set “Wheels from” to the donor vehicle or manually enter its rim width, diameter and offset. Check bolt pattern 5x115 and center bore 71.6 mm compatibility.
• Use “Custom wheel size” to try aftermarket widths, diameters and offsets. The visual shows inner clearance to strut and outer “poke” relative to your OEM baseline.
• Use “Custom tire size” to match tire to the new rim. When you change rim diameter, the tool updates overall tire diameter in the comparison so you can keep overall diameter within roughly plus or minus 3 percent of OEM to protect ABS, speedometer and gearing.
• Watch brake and suspension clearances. The model shows geometry changes, but always test fit before mounting tires.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern must be 5x115. Do not use 5x114.3 unless the wheel manufacturer explicitly certifies it for 5x115 hubs and you confirm fit with proper hardware.
• Center bore is 71.6 mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings sized to 71.6 mm at the hub side. Never use a wheel with a smaller bore than the hub.
• Thread size is M14 x 1.5. Match lug nuts or bolts to the wheel’s seat style and material. Do not reuse damaged hardware.
• Offset and backspacing: OEM example listed is ET 24 mm and 4.69 in backspacing for one 18x7.5 package. Other trims vary. Keep inner clearance to struts and control arms, and avoid excessive poke that could rub fenders.
• Brake clearance: Some Chargers have larger front calipers. Verify spoke and barrel clearance with a template from the wheel maker or a bare rim test fit.
• Tire diameter: Keep overall diameter close to your OEM size to maintain speedometer accuracy and transmission shift points.
• Load rating: Wheels and tires must meet or exceed the vehicle’s GAWR and load index on the door-jamb placard.
• TPMS: Plan for compatible sensors and relearn procedure. Reuse, clone or program as required.
• Spacers or adapters: Use only when necessary, hub-centric to 71.6 mm, with proper stud engagement. Recheck torque after driving.
• Torque spec: Follow the Dodge owner’s manual or service information for wheel fastener torque. Do not guess.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

The 2016 Charger supports multiple OEM and aftermarket sizes depending on trim and brakes. If you are moving to a larger or wider setup, use these principles:

• Plus-one or plus-two: Increase rim diameter while selecting a tire with a lower aspect ratio so overall tire diameter stays close to stock.
• Width changes: Wider wheels improve traction but reduce inner clearance and can push the tire outward. Use the calculator to visualize inner clearance to the strut and outer fender edge.
• Offset tuning: Higher ET pulls the wheel inward. Lower ET pushes it outward. Small changes can have big effects on clearance and steering feel.
• Square vs staggered: Square setups simplify rotations. Staggered setups can affect rotation options and stability control tuning. Check OEM guidance if your trim originally used a square setup.
• Tire load and speed ratings must meet or exceed OEM. Do not downgrade.

Because wheel and tire sizes vary by 2016 Charger trim, confirm your starting OEM size from the placard or manual, then use the calculator to trial any plus-size combination before purchasing.

Installation Tips

• Test fit each wheel on the hub without a tire to verify hub-centric seating, caliper clearance and stud engagement.
• Clean the hub face and the wheel mounting pad. Remove rust and debris so the wheel seats flush.
• Use the correct lug seat style for your wheel. Hand start all lugs to avoid cross-threading.
• Tighten in a star pattern in stages with a calibrated torque wrench to the factory specification from your owner’s manual.
• If using hub-centric rings, ensure they seat fully on the hub and in the wheel bore before torquing.
• After initial driving, recheck torque and inspect for any rubbing at full lock and over bumps.

FAQs

• Q: Will 5x114.3 wheels fit my 2016 Charger with 5x115?

  A: Do not assume compatibility. The correct pattern is 5x115. Mixing patterns can stress studs and compromise safety. Only use wheels the manufacturer certifies for 5x115 and verify with proper hardware and a test fit.

• Q: My center bore is 71.6 mm. Can I use wheels with a larger bore?

  A: Yes, with hub-centric rings that adapt the wheel’s larger bore to 71.6 mm. Never use a wheel with a smaller bore than the hub.

• Q: What is the correct wheel torque for the Charger?

  A: Refer to your Dodge owner’s manual or OEM service information for the exact torque spec for your trim and fasteners. Use a calibrated torque wrench and tighten in stages.

• Q: How do I confirm my factory wheel and tire size?

  A: Check the tire and loading information placard on the driver’s door jamb and the owner’s manual. You can enter those values as your baseline in the calculator for accurate comparisons.

• Q: Will larger brakes on some trims affect wheel fitment?

  A: Yes. Larger calipers reduce barrel and spoke clearance. Always verify with a wheel maker’s brake template or a physical test fit before mounting tires.

• Q: How much can I change tire diameter without issues?

  A: As a general guideline, keep overall diameter close to OEM to protect ABS and speedometer accuracy. Use the calculator to compare your proposed size to OEM and aim for minimal difference.

• Q: Do I need new TPMS sensors?

  A: If reusing OEM wheels and tires, you can typically reuse sensors if they are functional. For new wheels, you can transfer, clone or install new compatible sensors and perform the relearn procedure as required.

• Q: Is spacer use safe on the Charger?

  A: Only if necessary and properly specified. Spacers must be hub-centric to 71.6 mm, provide full stud or bolt engagement, and maintain correct thread pitch. Recheck torque after installation.
