How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements

Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.

Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 OE Wheel Specs

The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 (Coupe) uses a 5x115 bolt pattern with a 71.5mm center bore. Factory wheels are F 18x8.0J ET18 / R 17x11.0J ET24.

Why the factory spec works for most owners:

  • Keeps unsprung weight low to preserve the factory handling balance
  • Matches the wider, performance-oriented tire sizing typical of this platform
  • Maintains clearance for the factory brake package and suspension geometry
  • Balances grip with ride comfort for daily and spirited driving

Flush Fitment

For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F 20x9.5J ET15 / R 17x11.5J ET20 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170.

Maximum Aggressive Fitment

F 20x10.0J ET12 / R 17x12.0J ET15 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Real-World Reference Cases

The examples below are compiled from typical ANKUSI customer configurations and are labeled as reference cases, not individually verified real-world builds.

Case 1: Daily Driver (Flush Fit (Conservative))

Profile: Everyday driving, prioritizes comfort and low running cost.

Setup: F 20x9.5J ET15 / R 17x11.5J ET20

Cost: ~$620

Outcome: Minimal visual change, ride and fuel economy essentially unaffected.

Case 2: Balanced Enthusiast (Balanced)

Profile: Wants a sportier stance without sacrificing daily usability.

Setup: F 20x10.0J ET14 / R 17x12.0J ET18

Cost: ~$3,000

Outcome: Noticeable visual upgrade, fuel economy drop within the expected range.

Case 3: Show Build (Max Aggressive)

Profile: Built primarily for shows or occasional track/show use.

Setup: F 20x10.0J ET12 / R 17x12.0J ET15

Cost: ~$5,500

Outcome: Maximum visual impact; daily comfort and fuel economy are heavily compromised, physical test fit required before production.

Decision Guide

1
What's your primary use? Daily commuting → Tier A/B. Weekend street driving → Tier B/C. Show or occasional track use → Tier D/E.
2
What's your budget? Under $800 → Tier A. $800-3,400 → Tier B/C. $3,400+ → Tier D/E.
3
How much does fuel economy matter? Very important → Tier A. Somewhat important → Tier B/C. Not a priority → Tier D/E.
4
Still unsure? Tier C (Balanced) is the default choice for most Challenger SRT Demon 170 owners.

Offset & Backspacing Reference

Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):

  • OE (F): 18x8.0J ET18 → ~5.21″ backspacing
  • OE (R): 17x11.0J ET24 → ~6.94″ backspacing
  • Flush (F): 20x9.5J ET15 → ~5.84″ backspacing
  • Flush (R): 17x11.5J ET20 → ~7.04″ backspacing
  • Max (F): 20x10.0J ET12 → ~5.97″ backspacing
  • Max (R): 17x12.0J ET15 → ~7.09″ backspacing

Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or can’t find your exact Dodge spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we’ll confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Challenger SRT Demon 170 use?
The 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 uses a 5x115 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Challenger SRT Demon 170 use?
The Challenger SRT Demon 170 uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x115), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Challenger SRT Demon 170?
The Challenger SRT Demon 170's center bore is 71.5mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Challenger SRT Demon 170?
Factory wheels on the Challenger SRT Demon 170 are F 18x8.0J ET18 / R 17x11.0J ET24.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Challenger SRT Demon 170 without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is F 20x10.0J ET12 / R 17x12.0J ET15. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Challenger SRT Demon 170?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend F 20x9.5J ET15 / R 17x11.5J ET20 as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Challenger SRT Demon 170.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Challenger SRT Demon 170?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Challenger SRT Demon 170?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 5.84" backspacing up front and 7.04" in the rear.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Challenger SRT Demon 170?
Yes — the Challenger SRT Demon 170's factory and our recommended flush/max fitments already use staggered sizing (different width front and rear), and ANKUSI can forge matching staggered sets to your target offsets.
