  • 300C/Magnum/Charger Wheels...

    Fit our cars! They're the same bolt pattern, but lower offset... 5x115 and +20mm offset I believe. That is good if you want a real cheap set of 17 or 18" wheels. You can't use the stock tire sizes though (215/65-17 or 226/60-1 they're too tall. But you can score base model 17" steelies or alloys for dirt cheap. Just thought I'd let people know, I have a friend who put a set of the 17" steelies on his Park Avenue, fit fine but the tires rubbed (too tall). +20mm offset means they'll sit farther out = better handling and looks.

      Haha sorry, yeah W-Body bolt pattern... I was excited because I found a set of Charger R/T 18" wheels for $400. Sell the tires for $200, there's money for two new tires ( 235/50-18 ). I was just excited and wanted to share what I'd discovered.

      Actually... ok I'm an idiot I wasn't paying attention and I thought I was posting on w-body.com hahaha. :P

          Yeah, maybe we could compile a list of other cars that use the 5x115 bolt pattern. I like knowing this info about the 300/magnum/chargers because I've always wanted low-offset wheels for my car... thought it would look really cool. Too bad I'm trying to sell it :/

          Maybe you could sticky a post about other cars with W-body bolt patterns. Same with 5x100 bolt patterns for the J/N-body boys.

            Ha ha, how true....

            The new Z06 exposes European sports cars for what they really are....overprice, underperforming snobs.

                  Nope. Late N-bodies are 5x115mm; Earlier cars were 5x100mm.

                      This is good news as I've been looking for a 17" wheel instead of an 18" set, but www.tirerack.com only has been showing 16's and 18's. If I can find a set of 17" wheels that I like...there I go.
