The third generation Dodge Challenger is a throwback to America’s glory days of building muscle cars. Big, bold, tons of power, not particularly aerodynamic, but definitely puts a smile on your face. Whether you got an SXT or GT with a V6, or a higher trim with a Hemi V8, you’re probably looking at some performance mods. The 3rd gen ran for 15 years so there’s no shortage of options. Popular areas for upgrades include big brake kits (BBK), lowering spring or coilovers suspension, ECU tuning, exhaust, fender flares, and sway bar kits. Whatever your goals, big power, or better looks, you’ll probably look into some new shoes for your Challenger.
Want new wheels for your Dodge Challenger?
There are two categories when picking out new wheels - OEM vs aftermarket. Yes, this is obvious, and it's true for basically any car. But Mopar is a little different. They make rims for the Challenger that actually look pretty awesome, and between the billions of trims, there’s plenty to choose from. This makes OEM-style wheels a very viable consideration. The best-looking models come from the Hellcat and its special editions. However, there’s a major downside to factory wheels, the cost. They are high quality, sure, but come with a large price tag. So what if you want the Mopar look without the costs?
*OEM-style reps enter the chat
Several companies make Mopar-style replicas, these include Voxx Replica, OE Wheels, Factory Reproductions, and more. Unlike genuine Mopar, these companies use flow-forming technology rather than forging, which makes their wheels more affordable.
Aftermarket wheels for your Challenger
If you have a special use case, such as drag racing, or just wanna be unique, aftermarket wheels are the way to go. And hell, you can pick up a set of high-end multi-piece wheels for less than some of the genuine Mopar options. We’ll take a look at some Challengers with aftermarket rims later.
Basic Challenger fitment info
The Challenger is a big-bodied vehicle that can run some pretty large wheels. In fact, we would argue it needs some big wheels: 18 to 22-inch, 20 being the most popular. Typical rim width is between 8” to 10” in the front and 8” to 11.5” in the rear. The thread pitch of the lugs is M14x1.5mm. Staggered setups are more common than square configurations, but both work.
The PCD is 5x115mm - not the most widely supported. It is very close to 5x114.3 but the two shouldn’t be interchanged; putting 5x114.3 wheels on your Challenger can cause vibrations or other issues . An adapter can be used instead, or better yet, a wheel with the correct PCD. Despite being uncommon, manufacturers like American Racing, Heritage Wheel, Niche, Avant Garde, and many more, make suitable wheels.
Mopar-style replica wheels
Authentic wheels cost around $1500, per wheel. While these Voxx Replicas are currently under a grand, per set. A great case-in-point for going with reps. If you love the OEM design but not the price, these could be your rims.
Final Thoughts on Dodge Challenger Fitment
Mopar-style wheels are tried and true, plus they’re affordable and can be tailored more than genuine OE. If you wanna plunge into more uncharted waters of everything else, aftermarket is the way. As we have seen, both options look awesome, but aftermarket gives even greater flexibility to those interested in drag racing, smaller/larger diameters, etc.
If there is one thing to take away - don’t try putting widebody-spec wheels on a narrowbody, or narrowbody-spec wheels on a widebody. All of the above examples adhere to this rule. If you wanna see exceptions: search social media, you’ll find some easy enough. We didn’t wanna hurt anyone’s eyes. Really, there should be no reason to consider this as factory reps are offered in both narrow/widebody specs. And if you need help spec’ing aftermarket wheels, the fitment experts at Threepiece.us are happy to help.
