i found these on ebay and they seem like a reasonable price...

first question is will they fit, its the same bolt pattern 5 on 4.5, but is the width alright?...

also is there a place that makes custom caps for it, i dont want mustang logos on my rims, but i guess i could just not put the caps on... or paint them black

the offset is all wrong and i think they will only fit 93 onwards mustangs , you could try asking them if they make one with the correct offset for your charger ..... worth a crack :cheers:

No!!!  You will need spacers, the backspacing usually STARTS at 6" for mustang wheels. Check out http://www.americanmuscle.com/ they sell a lot of cheap mustang wheels that you could make work with spacers, but I wouldn't recommend it.  Spacers aren't that cheap, and factoring them in, personally I think it's worth it to just step up to some wheels that fit correctly from the start :Twocents:

i agree... don't fool around & modify something like that just to make it fit.... i'm sure if you really look... you'll come cross either a wheel similar to that, that the right size & fit's correctly.... or another set of wheels you like!!! ohhhh trust me there are tons of wheels out there to choose from!!!!!!! i'm still looking!!!!!!! and undecided?!?!?!? hahaha
also there are plenty of posts about what size wheels will fit & backspacing!! or just have YOUR car measured for it's exact measurments, cause everybody has different measurements i'm sure. due to all the differnt suspensions & tweaking that everybody does... to get the right stance they want!!!
good luck
