2021 Dodge Charger Wheel Interchange

2021 Dodge Charger Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2021 Dodge Charger

The 2021 Charger was offered with multiple wheel and tire packages. The values below reflect known OEM examples for this model year. If your trim uses a different package, confirm exact specs with the on-page calculator and the factory door-jamb tire placard or OEM parts catalog.

Notes:

• Multiple trims and brake packages exist. Some Chargers use 18 inch wheels while others use 20 inch. Tire sizes vary by package.
• If your information differs from the examples above, it may still be correct for your specific trim. Use the calculator to compare, and verify with the tire placard on the driver door jamb and OEM references by VIN.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

The calculator on this page lets you compare a potential donor wheel and tire to your Charger. It shows inner clearance, outer poke, and rolling diameter changes so you can gauge fit before buying.

• Step 1. In Wheels from, enter the wheel and tire specs of the donor setup. If you only know size and offset, that is fine.
• Step 2. In Installed on, select your 2021 Dodge Charger. Leave the OEM values as-is or enter the specs from your door-jamb placard if they differ.
• Step 3. To explore upgrades, use Custom wheel size to change rim diameter, rim width, and offset. Use Custom tire size to adjust section width and aspect ratio. The calculator updates tire diameter automatically when rim diameter changes.
• Step 4. Review results:
  • Inner clearance vs strut and brake: positive number means more room; negative means closer risk of rubbing.
  • Outer poke vs fender: large increases may require fender clearance checks.
  • Overall tire diameter and speedometer variance: try to stay within about 3 percent of OEM to avoid drivability issues.
  • Backspacing: combines width and offset to show inboard positioning relative to the hub.
• Step 5. If you change both width and offset, confirm that the inner barrel clears your brake calipers. High-performance brake packages often have tighter clearance.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Pattern and hub fit:
  • Bolt pattern must be 5x115. Avoid 5x114.3 unless a wheel manufacturer explicitly certifies fit with proper hardware. Adapters change geometry and require additional checks.
  • Center bore must seat on 71.6 mm. If the wheel’s bore is larger, use 71.6 mm hub-centric rings. Do not force a smaller bore onto the hub.
• Offset and clearance:
  • OEM example is ET 24 mm for an 18 x 7.5 wheel. Other OEM packages vary by trim. Keep offsets near the OEM range for your package to maintain scrub radius and steering feel.
  • Verify inner barrel and spoke clearance to calipers, especially on vehicles with larger brake packages.
• Tires:
  • Match or exceed the load index and speed rating on your door-jamb placard.
  • Use the calculator to keep overall diameter close to your OEM package to minimize speedometer error.
• Hardware:
  • Thread size is M14 x 1.5. Match the lug seat style to the wheel manufacturer’s requirement. Do not mix cone, ball, or mag-seat styles.
  • Ensure sufficient thread engagement. At least the diameter of the stud in full thread turns is a practical minimum.
• TPMS and brakes:
  • Plan to transfer or replace TPMS sensors compatible with your 2021 Charger. Follow the relearn procedure after installation.
  • Never run wheels that interfere with brake hoses or caliper bodies. Spin-test by hand and inspect at full lock and with suspension compressed.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Many owners consider moving from an 18 inch package to a 20 inch package, or running a wider wheel. Because the 2021 Charger was sold with multiple OEM packages, exact sizes vary by trim. Use these guidelines with the calculator rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all list:

• Keep overall tire diameter close to your OEM package. The calculator shows percentage change. Around plus or minus 3 percent is commonly used to maintain ABS and gearing behavior.
• When increasing wheel width, adjust offset to keep the inner lip off the strut and the outer lip inside the fender. The calculator will show inner clearance and outer poke changes.
• Brake clearance is critical. Higher-performance brake options may limit barrel profiles that fit. Test-fit a bare wheel before mounting tires when possible.
• Staggered setups: If your Charger is AWD, avoid mixing rolling diameters front to rear. Keep front and rear overall diameter matched to protect the drivetrain.

Installation Tips

• Prepare the hub: Clean rust from the hub face and center pilot. A thin film of anti-seize on the hub face only can help prevent future sticking. Do not contaminate studs or lug nut seats.
• Test-fit: Place the bare wheel on the hub and spin to verify caliper and suspension clearance before mounting tires.
• Mounting: Hand-start all lug nuts to avoid cross-threading. Tighten in a star pattern in stages to the factory torque spec specified in your owner manual.
• Hub-centric rings: If required, seat the ring fully in the wheel first, then install the wheel onto the 71.6 mm hub pilot.
• After install: Re-torque lugs after 50 to 100 miles of driving and after any significant temperature swings.
• TPMS: Transfer or install compatible sensors and perform the relearn procedure for your 2021 Charger as specified by OEM service information.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

• 1/2 inch drive torque wrench
• Thin wall lug nut socket set
• Hub-centric rings 71.6 mm ID for aftermarket wheels with larger bores
• M14 x 1.5 lug nuts in the seat style required by your wheels

FAQs

• What is the bolt pattern for the 2021 Dodge Charger

  5x115.

• What is the center bore size

  71.6 mm.

• What lug nut thread does it use

  M14 x 1.5. Match the lug seat style to the wheel you are installing.

• Can I install 5x114.3 wheels on a 5x115 Charger

  It is not recommended. Although some consider it close, the mismatch can stress studs and nuts. Use proper 5x115 wheels or professionally engineered solutions verified by the wheel manufacturer. Adapters add thickness and require careful offset and hardware calculations.

• What is the stock tire size for 2021 Chargers

  It varies by trim and package. One known OEM example is 245/45R20, and some trims use 18 inch wheel packages. Check your door-jamb tire placard and use the calculator to compare.

• What offset should I use

  Offset depends on wheel width and your brake package. An OEM example for an 18 x 7.5 wheel is ET 24 mm, but other factory packages differ. Use the calculator to keep inner clearance safe and outer poke within your fenders.

• Will 20 inch wheels fit my 2021 Charger

  Many 2021 Chargers were sold with 20 inch OEM wheels. Fit depends on your specific trim and brakes. Use the calculator to match overall tire diameter and confirm caliper and fender clearances.

• Do I need hub-centric rings

  If your aftermarket wheel has a center bore larger than 71.6 mm, use rings to center the wheel on the hub. If the wheel is exactly 71.6 mm, rings are not needed.

• What is the correct lug nut torque

  Consult the 2021 Dodge Charger owner manual or OEM service information for the exact torque spec. Do not guess. Always use a calibrated torque wrench and re-torque after 50 to 100 miles.

• How do I check backspacing vs offset

  The calculator displays both. Backspacing is how far the wheel extends inward from the mounting face and depends on both width and offset. Use it to judge strut and inner liner clearance.
