The Dodge Charger bolt pattern does not exactly share similar specs with other Dodge models, hence the need to learn more about its detailed measurements.

If you are a Dodge Charger driver, this article is for you.

How to Find Out Which Pattern My Dodge Charger Have Without Using Manuals

First, count the number of lug bolts (it should be 4 or 5). Then measure the gap between the bolt centers (or from one’s center to another’s furthest edge) using a ruler or a measuring tape. Put an “x” between the two numbers to manifest the final result.

Step 1. Count the number of wheel bolts

To determine whether the Dodge Charger has 5 or 4 lugs (there are no other options), simply count how many studs/bolts are currently binding the wheels to their hubs.

Step 2. Calculate the bolt pattern diameter.

Measure the gap between the bolts’ centers to confirm the circle’s diameter.

For four-lug wheels: choose two opposite bolts (lying across from each other) and measure the gap between their two centers.
For five-lug wheels: pick two adjacent holes and measure the gap between the first bolt’s center to the furthest edge of the second one.

Step 3. Conclude the pattern

With both the lug counts and the circle diameter at hand, you can find out the car’s wheel pattern now: put an x between them to yield the final number.

Some simple examples:

5 x 115 mm: 5 lug bolts and 115 mm of circle diameter
4 x 100: 4 lugs and 100 mm circle diameter

Is Dodge Charger Bolt Pattern The Same As Other Dodge Patterns?

Not all. While several Dodge lines do share the same patterns as the Charger (Dodge Caravan, for instance, with its 5 x 114.4 pattern), others are entirely different. Some models even have 6-lug designs instead of 5-lug.

Some of the common examples are as follows (along with other specs for your reference):

Model	Year	Pattern (inches)	Pattern (mm)	Center Bore
Dodge Durango	1999 – 2003	6 x 4.5″	6 x 114.3 mm	71.5
Dodge Durango	2004 – 2009	5 x 5.5″	5 x 139.7 mm	77.8
Dodge Durango	2010 – 2022	5 x 5″	5 x 127 mm	71.6
Dodge Challenger	2008 – 2020	5 x 4.52″	5 x 115 mm	71.5
Dodge Challenger	2021 – 2022	5 x 4.52″	5 x 115 mm	71.6
Dodge Journey	2009 – 2019	5 x 5″	5 x 127 mm	71.6
Dodge Caravan	1999 – 2007	5 x 4.5″	5 x 114.3 mm	71.5

Can I Change My Dodge Charger’s 4-Lug to 5-Lug Pattern?

Yes. In fact, since many drivers have upgrade demands for their 4-lug wheel hubs, wheel adapters to change 4-lug to 5-lug are actually very common on the market.

However, since a lack of expertise or adapter quality might ruin the car’s wheel assembly, you should only entrust your hands to qualified technicians.

Conclusion

Except for the brief 1982-1985 period (where all car models had 4-lug designs), the bolt pattern on Dodge Charger has always been consistently 5-lug. Keep the detailed specs above in mind when browsing through wheel replacements, and write to me if you need advice.
