Vehicle model
Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger is one of the brand's most iconic nameplates, launched in 1966 as a fastback muscle car derived from the Coronet. After several generations and a hiatus, it returned in 2006 as a rear-wheel-drive four-door sedan on the LX platform, reviving the HEMI engines. Versatile, it served as both a sporty family sedan and a very common police patrol car in North America. The SRT and Hellcat versions made it one of the most powerful production sedans on the market. Since 2024, the Charger has entered a new era: the fully electric Charger Daytona on the STLA Large platform, joined by the Charger Sixpack with a twin-turbo six-cylinder engine. On the tire side, the Charger commonly uses the 5x115 bolt pattern and 17- to 20-inch wheels. In Quebec, a separate winter set is strongly recommended, particularly on the rear-wheel-drive and high-power versions.

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.
