Who know thier BIG wheels
i have a 1995 se with the 16 package(if that makes a difference).... i have a lift kit(the spring spacer kind)
i want to buy some 22x9.5s off a a charger i think there 12mm offset.... they ARE the right bolt pattern, but is that offset gonna be ok with 2'' lift?
any advice would be appreciated... exept for the "dont get big rims" stuff cuz i lovem thats just my taste (id put 26s if I could)

Spring spacers? Had a few mishaps with them in the day. That said, lift doesnt impact offset unless you get high enough to not rub anything anyway. Best way to know clearance is to try, but I believe you'll be alright. You going to need rubber bands to get 22'* not to rub around going around corners in the front.

doesn't a smaller offset physically move the rim outwards away from the wheelwell? If im correct the charger offset (deep dish) would be better to minimize rub. Correct me if i'm wrong PLEASE

Offset is measured from the wheel mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. There are two types of offset - Positive and Negative. Positive Offset is when the wheel mounting surface is outside of the wheel centerline. Negative Offset is when the wheel mounting surface is inside of the wheel centerline.
I say you really need to check the wheel on the car because the OEM wheel is a 38mm offset. FWD vehicles tend to have bigger positive offset. Being that the Charger wheel is only has a 12mm offset, there is a possibility the tire will rub. Most here are wondering about the higher than OEM offsets often seen in aftermarket wheels.
