I'll be running FR70 20x10.5 with Continental DWS06 315/35/20. Any need for spacers? I know the Challengers need spacers, with this setup... how 'bout Chargers?

Stock height.

Picking up my wheels, tomorrow morning :)

With my 16 Challenger and 10.5's (aftermarket w/24 mm offset), I HAD to have spacers. Did not like having the "weak link" with those, so ended up getting Pass thru spacers and changing out the lug bolts.
Really does not give you the info you asked for, but maybe some ideas.

How 'bout it?

I'm ready to buy the tires. Already have the wheels.

Am I going to need spacers, on my CHARGER?

Just trying to get all the parts together, ahead of time :)

Might be a tight squeeze based on tire size, what's the offset? I believe our rear wheel tub is bigger than the Challengers.

I just recently had some new wheels put on too (secret for now) and here's my setup, no rubbing even though the retailer who sold it to me said it would:

20 x 10 up front, +20mm offset, 275 stock Pirelli All Seasons
20 x 11 rear, +20mm offset, 305/35/20 Nitto 555r

Just an update... NO SPACERS NEEDED :)

I just went for it and had them installed. No issues at all. No spacers.

If you have a 15+ HC Charger & want more contact... just do it :)

Winning combo:

Factory Reproductions: FR-70. 20X10.5 +25mm offset.

Continental DWS06 315/35/20

Chargers seem to have more room. I have Forgestars F14 17x10 30mm offset with no spacers. The other factor would be size, width of the tire being to big for the wheel so it bulges out and rubs

Shot a top down photo and found that the tread absolutely clears. The sidewall bulge is negligible and will not interfere :)

Thanks for mentioning this, as I want to get as many detail pix, as possible.

I know us HC Charger guys are way outnumbered by the Challenger crowd, so any good info is helpful :)

Looks great! How do the DWS hook up in real world driving? Try to decide between those or 2 sets of wheels/tires. Had them on m 13 SRT8 but obviously the HC is a different animal.

Had them on my 06 SRT, 05 Magnum & my cat, for years. No issues.

On the cat, it's imperative to get the widest tire you can, for the rears. Fronts are stock 275/40/20's. Same DWS06.

They are a 50k tire & hold up well to my spirited driving style... on my daily driver cat :)
