If you're thinking about customizing your 2012 Dodge Charger with some aftermarket wheel rims, you'll need to know exactly what its bolt pattern is before you can do so.

You'll also need to know its center bore measurements, offset, stud size, and tightening torque. If you don't match all these measurements exactly, your new rims will not fit.

2012 Dodge Charger bolt pattern

Your 2012 Dodge Charger has a bolt pattern of 5x4.53. If you're not familiar with how to interpret bolt patterns, here's how they're formatted:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle that they form

With this in mind, we can interpret your Charger’s bolt pattern of 5x4.53 to mean that each wheel has five bolts and that those bolts are arranged in a circle with a diameter of 4.53 inches.

Knowing your bolt pattern is crucial to finding rims that will fit correctly. However, it is not the only measurement that you will need. You'll also need to know the center bore, wheel offset, stud size, and tightening torque for your wheels. You'll find that information listed below.

Factory wheel size: 17”, 18”, 19”, or 20” (depending on trim level)

Stud size: M14 x 1.5

Offset: 20 to 30 mm

Center bore: 71.6 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 176 Nm

How to measure your Dodge Charger’s bolt pattern

You shouldn't need to measure your Dodge Charger’s bolt pattern since that information is listed above. If you'd like to double-check, though, there's an easy way to measure the bolt pattern of any vehicle.

Using a measuring tape or ruler, measure the distance from the outer edge of any bolt hole to the center of the opposite bolt.

With five bolts, when you measure directly across, you will not land directly on a bolt. Instead, measure to the spot where a bolt would be. The important thing is that you’re measuring the total length from one end of the circle to the other.
