Dodge Charger Bolt Pattern, Wheel & Tire Sizes
TL;DR
5x115 mm bolt pattern and 71.6 mm center bore carried through all three Charger sedan generations (2006-2023); what changes by trim is wheel diameter, offset and tire size, so always cross-check the door placard before buying wheels.
Dodge Charger bolt pattern and wheel fitment
The modern four-door Dodge Charger was built on two related platforms: the LX generation (2006-2010) and the LD generation (2011-2023, facelifted for 2015). Multiple independent wheel-fitment databases and spacer/adapter manufacturers agree that both platforms share the same 5x115 mm five-lug bolt pattern, a 71.6 mm hub-centric bore, and M14x1.5 wheel stud threads. This did not change across the generations covered here.
What actually changes by trim and year
Bolt pattern stayed constant, but wheel diameter, offset and tire size moved a lot depending on engine and trim. Base V6 SE/SXT cars typically rode on 17-inch wheels with touring tires, mid-range R/T and GT cars stepped up to 18-20-inch wheels, and the SRT8/Scat Pack/Hellcat performance trims used 20-22-inch wheels with staggered, wider rear tires (especially on Widebody Hellcat models, which pair wider rear tires with flared fenders).

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LX (2006-2010) | 5x115 mm | 71.6 mm | M14x1.5 | 17-18 in (SE/SXT/R/T); up to 20 in on SRT8 | 215/65R17 and 225/60R18 base; up to 245/45R18-20 on SRT8 (varies by year) |

| LD facelift (2015-2023) | 5x115 mm | 71.6 mm | M14x1.5 | 17 in SXT; 19-20 in AWD/GT/R T; 20 in Scat Pack/Hellcat | 215/65R17 SXT; 235/55R19-245/45R20 AWD/GT/R T; 245/45R20-275/40R20 Scat Pack; 275/40R20 front / 315/35R20 rear on Hellcat (305/35R20 square on Widebody) |
Always confirm on your own car
Bolt pattern is consistent for this model, but offset, wheel width and factory tire size depend on the exact trim, wheel package and whether the car has the Widebody kit. Before buying wheels or tires, confirm the exact figures for your specific car using its own documentation rather than a generic chart.
- Driver's door jamb placard (lists tire size, wheel size and cold inflation pressure)
- Owner's manual wheel and tire chapter
- The size markings molded into the current tire sidewall
- A tire/wheel shop's fitment lookup by VIN, which accounts for factory wheel packages

Frequently asked questions
Is the Dodge Charger bolt pattern the same on every model year?
For the modern sedan (2006-2010 LX and 2011-2023 LD, including the 2015 facelift), yes - every generation checked uses a 5x115 mm, 5-lug bolt pattern with a 71.6 mm center bore. Wheel diameter and tire size still change a lot by trim, so match those separately using your door placard.
What center bore do I need for aftermarket wheels on a Charger?
The factory hub bore is 71.6 mm across the LX and LD generations. Aftermarket wheels are often cast with a larger, universal bore, so hub-centric rings are commonly used to take up that gap and keep the wheel centered on the hub - check the wheel manufacturer's specs for your exact wheel.
Can I put Hellcat or Scat Pack wheels on a base SXT Charger?
The bolt pattern and center bore match (5x115 mm, 71.6 mm) across trims, so mounting is physically possible, but Hellcat and Widebody wheels are often a different width and offset designed for flared fenders and wider tires. Check offset and backspacing against your specific car before assuming a direct swap will clear the fenders and suspension.
Where is the official tire size for my exact Charger listed?
The most reliable source is the placard on the driver's door jamb, which lists the factory tire size and recommended cold tire pressure for your specific car as built, along with your owner's manual. These reflect your actual build, including any optional wheel package, better than any general chart.
