    Those wheels should work perfectly fine with your Challenger. They are 17x8s with 4.5 backspacing.

    I agree, should be fine.  There are some reports of a "taller" style upper ball Joint affecting some cars, but I think it was on a deeper offset.

    I have 17 x 8,s, with 4 in back space, all the way around, since the wheel is bigger it should clear,i looked at those wheels pretty good deal :burnout:
