About LinkBacksI can get these in 20's with tires (toyo proxes 4) for $2200 to my door.
What ya think?
Should I do 22's? This car thing is new to me. 1st car I have owned in 15 years. However, the truck I traded in for the charger did have 22's.

For my personal taste I would not go over 20"s. They are a nice looking wheel though!
The Magnum has a soul. It has a personality, something all too lacking in the automotive transportation appliances everybody else is offering.

I recently purchased wheels & tires also. and the whole 20" vs 22" was a big decision for me also. I went with the 20"s,
I think they look better, call me old school but the 22"s just dont have enough rubber for my taste. I also think the 20"s should have a better ride because of the extra air/rubber cushion between the wheel and the road. And they have more curb protection, without a doubt.
I am very happy with my decision to go for the 20"s, looks "sporty" not "Blingy"

I have 20's and 22's, and I will say I like the look of the 22's better.

Thanks for all of the replies everyone.
69&07Chargers,
What is the ride quality difference between the 20's and 22's?
I didnt mind the 22's I had on my truck but I had 305/45/22's on so I had a fair amount of sidewall. No way I would go with a 30 profile ... that look just isnt for me ...
Not sure how 245/40/22 would look or ride.

I lean toward sporty 18's for the Chargers and flashy 22's for the 300's.
So, I'd have to say 20's.
If they made an 18 without the rivets, that would be really bad.

I thought the difference would me enough to make me only put the 22's on for showing, but I have to say, it's not really all that different. I have had cars with 22's before, so I'm used to avoiding potholes in the road, but it really isn't that big of a difference in ride quality between the 22's and 20's.

He's right, AWD's have a smaller selection of wheels that will work on them. Make sure you get the right wheels for your AWD, no matter what size they are. Originally Posted by Redfox0099

The wheels I am looking at fit AWD. I like the look of the 22's ... but with the smaller sidewall and the bad roads in New Hampshire ... it scares me a bit.
