I'm sure someone will move this over to the suspension/wheels or another subforum, but to answer your question, OEM wheels 18"+ from RWD Chargers should swap from any model year Charger to another. '06 to '15 should all accept stock 18"-20" wheels without issue.
Exceptions:
AWD to RWD and vice versa - Wheel offset is different... RWD wheels have a lower positive offset, meaning that if they are put on an AWD car, they will stick out from the fenders. Opposite goes for AWD rims on RWD car - will be tucked further in toward the body, may not clear the suspension.
17" wheels - Available on some early model year Chargers, may not fit around brakes on SXT, R/T, SRT, etc, or 2011+ model year cars.

So, 18" - 20" stock wheels should fit on any model year Charger with zero issues, assuming they are AWD rims for an AWD car or RWD rims for a RWD car.

SRT wheel offsets may vary SLIGHTLY compared to SE, SXT, R/T models, but not enough to make much of a difference.

Yes, they will fit. I'm pretty sure the AWD cars all had 19" wheels, so I'm assuming your car is RWD.

With that being the case, the 18" wheels from a Challenger will fit your Charger.

My '08 SXT AWD had 18" stock wheels... or at least that's what came on it when I bought it. The 2011-14 AWDs came stock with 19s. Not sure about the 2015s.

All OEM SRT wheels up until the 2015MY were 20x9" with a 25.5mm offset. These will require a 3mm spacer (front only) when fitting to a RWD R/T, SXT, or SE.

ok now i have people telling me that Challenger wheels wont work on my Charger because one is 5x115 and one is 5x114.3
People telling you that are absolutely incorrect. :4-looney:

Both Challenger and Charger wheels are 5x115. As dperk pointed out to you earlier, Charger and Challenger wheels are essentially interchangeable except between AWD and RWD.

Unfriend people who say that Challenger's have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, lol. Will 5x114.3 fit on the car? Yes. Is that what they come with? No.
