Can you put a set of factory 20" wheels and tires from a new challenger onto a 69 Dart?

In my head it does not seem like it would fit.

I know this is not a " racing " question, but i dont know who else would have tried this but racers.

If you own a machine shop and know what you're doing, then yes, they'll fit.

If you're just trying to bolt them on, then no, they won't go on there.

Won't fit eh? How do you suppose I got the 07 charger wheels with the same exact pattern on mine?

if you get the wheels from the base LX models they will fit 5x4 1/2(5x114.3 i believe), when the models go up like r/t srt8's they goto 5x115 because of the different brake systems between the base LX and r/t or SRT models.

They fit you just cant turn the front tires without some kind of work to the front fenders.

That looks like they stick out quite a bit, mine are 17 inch but I figured the extra width went in not out and you could just run a lower profile tire. Are you running some kind of thick spacer on those?
