    i can get a set of take off factory chrome dodge charger wheels pretty reasonable. GOOD NEWS is they are 17x7...they are pretty good looking...i need rims....bolt pattern is 5x115..and they are aluminum.
    BAD NEWS is the offset appears to be somewhere in the ET 24.....i dont think it will work out but was wondering if anyone has such a offset?

    You have a comp g with stock chrome flake stars?
    Same boat here mate. If you are doing new wheels and tires, now is the time to do it.

    Those rims would probably work. They will stick out about 1 inch for the rims, another 1/4 for the tire from the original tire position.



    Don't worry about the 115 bolt pattern, there isn't squat to choose from. Go to 5 x 114.3 or (5 x 4.5) in your search quest.

    And get at least 8 x 18 wheels. Keep the flake stars for winter.

    If anything, you'd have to roll the inside of the rear fender some.

    I've never seen them on a 04+ car though.

    at only 7" wide, they are going to have a flushness similar to pregens.

    They will fit but, you should test fit them to make sure they don't rub the calipers. I know that's what the 20"s do.
