^. The other major item I like about the Triumph deal is retaining the 9.5" front and not compromising down to everyone's little 9" wheel. I want to retain the front geometry entirely.

I agree with that 100%
I would rather go to a 20 x 10 inch front over a 20 x 9 inch front if I had to choose though.
The 20 x 9 inch choices some are making have offsets that bring the entire wheel IN a bit and it makes it look a bit less aggressive.
Same goes with the concave look. You lose some of it with a 9 inch wide wheel. The stock 9.5 is perfect, 10 inch wide front nearly equally so.
Only issue with the 10 inch front is there is VERY little room up there so the offset needs to be right so it doesn't rub AND/OR stick out too far.
1/4 inch more in, 1/4 inch more out would be perfect for a 10 inch front wheel.

^ yep you and me are thinking the same stuff. I am pretty excited to see how the 315's with a 10.5" wheel can grip. I am going with the P-zero. Enough is enough, I have two new fronts in the garage, but, darn those are some spendy rubber pieces for the back. Now that we have some times it will be interesting if those can match the DR's on the street anyway.

I was thinking of the Continental ExtremeContact DW in 315/35/20
I had them on my 2011 Mustang 5.0 when I got it back in fall 2010.
They definitely need a bit of warmth before getting grippy, but that means just driving normally for the first few miles and taking a couple corners. But when you first start out if the tires are cold, you can't get on the throttle or take a corner hard, they will get loose a bit until warmed.
And they are far less than the P Zero's. On Tirerack the Continentals are rated 7 out of 27 tires in the Max Performance Tires category. Our stock P Zero's are rated 20 out of 27. So the Continentals have much better ratings. And the only tire in the Max Performance Summer category that's rated higher than the Continental but also makes a 315/35/20 tire is the Michelin Pilot Super Sports....and they are $150 a tire more.
I just have to find the right wheels first.
I just can't believe how few wheels in 9.5 inch fronts and 10.5 inch rears there are to choose from.

Also I'm contemplating putting 315/35/20's on 20 x 10 wheels if I have too.

I know people are putting 305/35's on our stock 9.5 inch wheels without issue, but I have my reservations.
315/35's on 10 inch wheels are slightly better. Tires are 10 mm wider but wheel is 13 mm wider.
So 315/35's on 10 inch wheels have 3 mm more wheel to mount the tires on than do the 305/35's on stock 9.5 inch wheels.

3 mm is like an 1/8th of an inch. Not much but anything is better. Clearly having 10.5 inch wheels would be more ideal.

I'm about to order 2 replicas to mount some all season tires on for the easy Texas winter. I can get 20x9 or 20x10 with +18 or +20 offsets. It sounds like 20x10 +18 would be best on the front. Would 10" wide and +20 be better on the rear or should I go with +18 so I can rotate them with the factory wheels? (I'm only getting 2 because I'm running DR's in the other 3 seasons....need a total of 6 wheels if I leave the all seasons up front all year.)

If you go 20 x 10 get the +18 offset. The 10 inch wheel is 1/2 inch wider (13 mm)
With am 18 offset you will have a wheel that will stick out 6.5 mm more and also be inward 6.5 mm more.
If you got 20 offset you'd have a wheel that sticks out 4.5 mm more but INWARD 8.5 mm more. The concern there would be that it may rub. There isn't a ton of space in the front between the wheel/tire and that curved upper suspension assembly.
If you choose to go the 20 x 9 I'd also go with the 18 offset

Just joined but have been reading this thread for a long time. So I have played with the website DGatzby shared but am still having a heck of a time figuring this out/actually finding what I would like, so please if you know let me know. 18x11 5x115 +24mm should be what the wheels would need to look like. And I believe the tires would work as well. If I missed the posts saying that the offset would make it too close to the inside of the wheel well I apologize as well as if they would like out too far. I did some rough measurements on the inside of the wheel well and there is roughly 1.6" between the tire and the shock. I could live with an additional inch outward as well. Now for the fronts they wouldn't be as wide but I also do not know if an 18" wheel will clear the huge brakes. Does anyone have experience with this? Gentlemen, is this possible? Thank you much in advance.

+24mm will be fine for any 11 inch wide wheel. I did a test fit of a 19x11 with a 33mm offset and while the wheel did not rub, once I put a tire on, it was the tire that rubbed. Put on a spacer that brought the effective offset to 25mm and it was fine. Tire pokes out a tad but not enough to look bad. If you want a link to my thread just let me know.

Please do share that link. Seeing as you had a 19" wheel and were barely rubbing my 18 would be in the clear. Do you have an approximate measurement of the increase that wheel and tire sticking out past the wheel well?

All this talk has confused me. Lol. Can someone smarter than me tell me if I can put staggered 20x9" on the front and 20x10 1/2" on the rear, +25 offset on both front and rear wheels. On a 2015 Dodge Charger R/T?????? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So help me out here, guys. Can I run a rear that is 20x10.5 with a 25mm offset? And for fronts, 20x9 with either a 15mm or 20mm offset?

I believe we can... I’m following for the same reason....

Why do guys downsize the front wheel to a 9 unless it’s strictly a tracked car?

15 offset fine for a Charger on a 20x9 rim? Picked up replica winter rims. Just want to verify they are good before I mount the tires

If I decide to get a factory rep wheel that is 20X10.5 on all 4 corners and is +25 offset would the wheel clear all calipers?
Also would I have any rubbing issues using eibach sport lines?

No sir it would not you would need a 5 mm spacer upfront minimum to work

Thanks for your response, what is the optimal offset for a set of oem replica wheels?
