A 315/35ZR20 tire is a size to evaluate for a Charger project, not a universal Charger Widebody fitment. Before buying, distinguish the car’s original specification, any widebody conversion and the exact wheel-and-tire combination proposed for the vehicle.
This guide does not certify a VCORSA SKU for every Charger trim or establish a guaranteed grip improvement from changing width.
Identify the Charger before comparing tires
Record the model year, trim, drivetrain, original tire configuration and all relevant brake, wheel, suspension and body modifications. “Widebody” can describe a factory configuration or an aftermarket conversion; those starting points must not be treated as identical.
The 2023 Charger owner’s manual, printed page 238, directs replacement decisions to the vehicle’s specified tire and wheel requirements, including load and speed capability. Use the manual and tire placard applicable to your own car. A general model name does not establish which factory package it has.
Make a baseline record before altering the setup. Photograph the tire label and have the installer identify the wheels actually fitted. Previous modifications can make the car different from both an online factory specification and its original order record.
A tire does not have a wheel bolt pattern
Bolt pattern describes the wheel’s mounting interface with the vehicle hub. A tire mounts on the wheel rim. A tire advertised in a 20-inch size therefore cannot be described as “fitting a 5×115 bolt pattern” or “bolting directly onto the car.”
Keep the checks in their proper columns:
| Tire information | Wheel information | Vehicle/application information |
|---|---|---|
| Full size and service description | Diameter and width | Exact year, trim and drivetrain |
| Approved rim-width range | Offset and mounting interface | Required tire capability and axle arrangement |
| Actual dimensions under stated conditions | Center bore and required hardware | Brake and suspension clearance |
| Intended use and restrictions | Load rating | Clearance throughout steering and suspension movement |
Passing one column does not complete the other two. The VCORSA buying checklist helps assemble the information for a single installer review.
Understand what 315/35ZR20 changes
The 315 is nominal section width; 35 is the sidewall-height ratio. Neither is a measurement of tread contact on the road. At the same aspect ratio, a wider size also has a greater nominal diameter.
For example, 305/35R20 calculates to 721.5 mm overall diameter and 315/35R20 to 728.5 mm. That 7 mm difference is nominal geometry, not a clearance test. The 305/315/325 size comparison shows the formulas and limitations.
A width change alone does not quantify acceleration traction, braking distance, wet-road behavior or fuel economy. Use relevant tests of the actual products and conditions when making those claims. The vehicle’s power output is not a substitute for that evidence.
Ask for a clearance assessment, not a parked-photo verdict
Outer-fender appearance is only one view of the assembly. The installer also needs to assess inner clearances, steering movement and suspension travel for the expected loading and use. Wheel offset and actual tire dimensions matter together.
Ask the shop to identify the checks it performed and any unresolved restrictions. Do not treat rubbing as a cosmetic detail that can be ignored, or a body kit as permission to bypass the vehicle’s load, handling or drivetrain requirements.
Choose for the conditions and the complete order
An all-season listing is not a promise that a tire suits every winter trip. Read the exact product’s operating instructions and use our seasonal selection guide to separate category names from documented capability.
Browse VCORSA sizes for current product options. Before selecting one for the Charger, obtain the complete SKU specification and application confirmation. Compare the full installed quote, including any wheel, hardware or monitoring-system work required. Keep current price and availability with the actual order, not a remembered figure from an older article.
