Hi has any one fitted 18" wheels on a kj. Looking to fit Dodge charger wheels to my Jeep with General Grabber tires 255 x 55 . Will they rub lock to lock?

What is the bolt pattern and backspacing of the Charger wheels?
Might need wheel spacers/adapters to make it work.

They have 115 stud pattern so I have re ground the bolt holes to 114.3 only .35mm on each. Spigot/hub is a better fit than the standard wheels. The wheels are a good fit plus 3/4" from the originals so still well under the fenders. My concern if 255 55 tyres fit with out rubbing on tight turn. offset is 24

Just do a search for tire size converter or calculator on google and you can figure out the difference between what you have now and what you're trying to put on there. That should put things into perspective.
