 I found one set that are 15 inch and bolt onto my Charger with no problems. Anyone know what year they are. ? I can't find anymore.

Wait til you bolt a set onto the front and try to make a turn.

Back spacing is all crazy with Jeep Turbine wheels...I had 'em on my General Lee until I caould find the correct 10 spoke Vectors and they sucked..

Cooter, I take it that you knew what I meant by when making a turn with them on the front then.

i couldn't get the jeep 10 spokes to fit on the front hubs without interference. on the back they are ok, but offset just isn't quite enough in the front..

Been there too, I scored a nice set of Jeep wheels with nice tires for 80 bucks one time, was gonna put them on the 72 I had, fit fine on rear, does not fit the front. If you wanted to you could probably use spacers, but you'll probably have to install longer wheel studs.

They are from the mid 80s cherokees. Any junk yard/pick your part will have em

Found a pic of my old 72 with those wheels on the rear. The ones I had came from a Salvage yard.

OH yes! They looked kind ignorant on the rear all tucked under the car and even worse on the front as I had to run spacers on the front and still looked crazy...

Those are what, 15x6, maybe 15x7? That is way to skinny a wheel for a Charger, IMO.
