Vehicle model
Dodge Challenger
The Dodge Challenger is a muscle car coupe. Originally introduced in 1970, the nameplate was relaunched for 2008 in a retro form inspired by the classic models. This modern generation targeted enthusiasts of powerful, boldly styled rear-wheel-drive two-door coupes. The offering ranged from the V6 to the HEMI V8s, up to the extreme SRT Hellcat (supercharged 6.2-liter V8) and Demon versions, exceeding 700 horsepower. The Challenger was produced through the 2023 model year, becoming an icon of American automotive culture. In terms of tires and wheels, it is a vehicle typically fitted with large wheels (often 20 inches) and wide high-performance tires, with a 5x115 bolt pattern. In Quebec, due to the rear-wheel drive and high power, a dedicated set of winter tires, ideally in a slightly more modest diameter, is strongly recommended to maintain traction on snow and ice.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Dodge de performance (Charger, Challenger) utilisent fréquemment l'entraxe 5x115 et des jantes de grand diamètre, souvent 18 à 20 pouces, parfois avec des largeurs différentes à l'avant et à l'arrière (montes étagées). Les versions sportives reçoivent des pneus larges à indice de vitesse élevé. Le Durango partage généralement un entraxe à cinq trous. Au Québec, où les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires, il est souvent recommandé d'opter pour un ensemble hiver en diamètre légèrement réduit (par exemple 18 ou 19 pouces) afin de gagner en motricité, de mieux protéger les jantes et de réduire les coûts. Confirmez toujours la dimension exacte selon le modèle, l'année et la version.
