Hey ya'll, I am looking to get some info regarding the fitment of 20"x9", 20"x9.5" wheels on a 2012 Charger R/T AWD. I have found some 20" by 9.5" Hellcat replica's with 34mm offset and I know they make them in 9" wide as well but have not been able to find any with the higher offset needed. With the 9.5" wide wheels I would have to run at least a 255/45R20 but ideally 275/40R20 would look the best. Anyone running 9" or 9.5" wide wheels? If so what tire/tire size are you running, offset of the wheels and if you had/have any issues with fitment. I know the offset is very critical with our vehicles but haven't found much of any info on the offset needed for 9"/9.5" wide wheels or how they fit.

I'm running some hellcat replica's on my 2016 awd, I was told at purchase that they are 20x9 and that they have a 44 offset, but possibly they are actually a 34 offset ill have to try and check out the markings on the back of the wheels (I have been meaning to do that anyway), ill let you know after I check.

I'm running 245/45/20 tires, the wheel shop said 255/24/20 tires but im not 100% sure they would fit up front as that size wasn't test fitted.

The rear wheels fit real nice, the front is nice but they do stick out the fender a tiny bit 1/2" maybe ....

From the info I have gathered there is no way 275s will fit upfront without sticking out a good amount. I really want to know what company those 20x9 Hellcat with a +44 offset came from! I don't remember off the top of my head but I believe the highest offset I could find on a 20x9 wheel was 30mm. They have 20x10/10.5" replica's with a 45mm offset but that will not fit up front.
I pulled the wheels off today .... there is a 36 marking inside so id think there actually 36ET offset which would explain why there so aggressive in the front.

That is weird... Well here is how to measure offset:
https://www.4wheelparts.com/tire-wheel-package-guide/wheel-offset-backspacing.aspx



Did the wheel shop tell you who manufacturered them/where they got them from? Or any info about who they got them from?

I found some 20x9.5" satin black Hellcat Replica's with a 34mm offset manufacturered by "Topline wheels". I have not found any 20x9" replica's with a 30+mm offset yet...

I’d like to know the offset as would some of you so if anyone wants to explain how I would go about calculating the offset let me know

No I asked the shop who made them, what the offset was, etc... They dint know, they just kept saying 44 offset and replica wheels. The back of the wheels dont seem to have any manufacturer name or offset stamped in, kinda weird!

I dont really know how to measure offset but I tried using a youtube video lol and I was coming out with something like 27 offset with 6" back spacing BUT I doubt thats correct.

They look great man! What has the shops name, location or contact info?
Would you say the front tires stick out past the fender about 1/2" or 1"?
Plugged it into the wheel offset calculator and says a 245/45/20 with a wheel with +44mm offset will stick out .6" further then a 235/55r19 on the factory wheels with +55mm offset.

Heck I have spent atleast a few hours trying to find 20x9 Hellcat Replica's with a high offset... I know the 20x9.5 with +34mm offset would fit fine on the rear but the offset calculator says it will stick out 1.2" further then the 255/50r19s on the factory wheels I am currently running. I just think it would stick out to far upfront for my taste?

I wish the front wheels were set in just a bit more but doesn’t look to bad.

Thanks I get a LOT of compliments on them! I wanna say they stick out about 1/2" but hard to tell because of how high the AWD sits up, I bought some BC Racing coilovers to lower it down a bit but havent installed them yet. I thought about having the front wheels shaved down a little for higher offset but there isnt a whole lot of meat.

The shop is called Michigan Auto Wheel and Tire in Centerline MI on Vandyke but last I heard the shop was closed for ?remodeling? and be warned this place was sketchy!! Installers didnt seem the brightest, my rear TPMS havent worked since install, they slightly scratched a wheel, balance seems off, I paid for black lugs and SRT caps but never received them.
