If those are late model Charger/Challenger/300/Magnum wheels, they may appear to fit but the bolt pattern is slightly different.
Right, now find one with decent offset/backspacing. Most modern cars run more than +35mm of offset compared to the stock +5mm offset on the Coronet wheels I have. (14x5.5 wide). As an example the later Mustang "Bullitt" wheels are around +45mm offset, while the Challenger wheels are +24mm, over 3/4" less needing to be spaced away from the tie rod end/ball joint.A Google search showed over 700 cars/suv's with 5 on 114.3/4.5 bc There is NO reason to use a wrong bolt pattern.
Okay , then find some off of an suv. They don't have the radical offsets that the mustang wheels have.Right, now find one with decent offset/backspacing.

Did you miss the part where I'm running adapter/spacers that correct the bolt pattern? They're completely safe to use and allow me to run those wheels with the correct bolt pattern. An easy option for anyone.Okay , then find some off of an suv. They don't have the radical offsets that the mustang wheels have.
Oops, backspace. I refuse to use that offset bullshit.
You wanna use wheels that might break the studs and fall off? Okay, go for it. I wish you good luck.
No worries, all good.Okay, I guess I'm responsible for a clown show.
Rennkafer, I saw that you were using adapters. I was actually responding to 67belvedere. (Or thought I was!) assuming the black steelies he was going to use were 115mm. You know what happens when you assume......
So, congrats to both Rennkafer and 67Belvedere, you are both doing it right. Wrong pattern using an adapter helps put the wheel were needed. And those wheels look good on your car.
My bad guys, I'm sorry.
