Well I have +14mm offset on my boss 304's and they fit nice in my '06 stx charger with 275/40/20' s on all 4 with no rubbing at all. I think the bolt pattern is 5x100 if I remember correctly ? Please someone else chime in if I am wrong. :)

My factory Dubz specs are 20x8-5x115 bolt pattern with a 24mm offset.I would stick with a 18mm offset or lower on the front and a 25mm and lower on the rears.JMO.

Bolt pattern is 5x115 as stated above. As far as offsets go for rims for fronts a 20x9 +15mm offset and rears 20x10 +20mm offset is good

Those work as I have Vossens 20x10.5 on the rears and 20x9 up front.

^^^^^Those will work.

*****UPDATE****
so i have decided on the Vossen CV1.
a vendor says they come in 20x9 w/ +20mm offset for the front, and 20x10.5 w/ +15mm offset for the back.
my question is... will these offsets work well?
 
#15 ·
I dont know why but I want to say its the other way around-I think the 20x9 have the +15 and the 10.5's have the +20 offset.I could be wrong,but it should work either way.Worst case,you would have to run a spacer in the front.
 
#16 ·
i originally asked the vendor for offsets reversed and they said vossed doesnt make those offsets, but they had what i posted above so i think we maybe be wrong cuz i was with you, i thought it was reversed
 
#17 ·
Yep,I was wrong.They offer the 20x9 in a +20 offset with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.The 5x115 bolt pattern is offered in the 22" app for the CV1.You can also give Vossen a call to find out for sure as well.

This is what their app sheet shows, for some reason I swear I heard people running 20s on the LX platform. Unless someone had them drilled.

An offset number doesn't mean much by itself, but when you use it with the wheel width, it does mean something.

For instance, if you have two wheels with the same offset and one wheel is 9" wide and the other is 12" wide, the back spacing is very different, as the 12" wheel might hit the suspension parts with the back of the wheel or rub on the fender.

their website says the sizes and bolt patterns they offer, but they dont say that it depends on the size of the wheel, i hope the 5x115 is offered in 20"s cuz i dont want 22"s or to pay extra to have them drilled

Check the specs that Scoot13 posted above you.
 
#23 ·
i found a local company that has 20"s in the 5x115, i am now just confirming the offsets mentioned (+20mm Fronts/ +15mm Rears) will work ok, thenim gonna save a little money pick them up, and have them powdercoated gloss black
 
#24 · (Edited)
i am getting confirmation that what i will be getting is 20x9 5x114.3 w/ +20mm in the front and 20x10.5 5x114.3 w/ +15mm..................offsets should work just fine, and the the bolt patterns will get some machining done to make them 5x115.......after all that they should work all out i believe

*****EDIT******

Why are you putting two different offsets for the same size rims? 20x9 with a +20mm offset all around would be better. If you go with +20mm in front and +15mm in rear, the rear will be inset than the front.

Hi guys, new here. Anyways, the stock offset is +55mm and the bolt pattern is 5x115. I have a 2012 300C with the 19x7.5 wheels currently, and I took them off to install the splash guards so I know for sure that is the specs on them.

DO NOT put a 5x114.3 wheel on there. There is a lengthy discussion on 300cforumz about it, and I have read all over the web and asked every tire shop around about it. None of them will touch it with that bolt pattern. Basically, the lugs will have lateral pressure applied that shouldn't be there, increasing the risk of shearing. Lugs weren't designed to withstand lateral force.

I know a lot of guys do it and that makes them think it's ok, but with two kids in the car it's not worth it (for me).

I believe that is the offset for an AWD application.

Not really that funny. Local shops here have seen sheered lugs with .7mm of lateral force applied across all lugs. It's all fun and games until a wheel flies off the car at speed. So what if it hasn't happened to everyone, the fact that it HAS happened is enough for me. My kids are worth doing things right.

Its the +- that worries me. stress is cumulative over time can and most likely will cause problems. If you do it make sure you have it marked on the inside of the rim's! When you get tired of them please tell the buyer as you could get in a lot of trouble if one comes apart. .7 doesn't seem like much but Chrysler does not make them interchangeable.

I wish I could lol
