245/45R20 — what fits & what to buy

The workhorse 20-inch size: factory on the Charger and Challenger Scat Pack (as 245/45ZR20), the 20-inch option on R/T and SXT, and the front half of the classic Mopar stagger.

FIG. 02— what 245/45R20 actually means
wheel · 20″ 245 mm section width 45% of width = 110 mm sidewall ∅ 28.7″ overall
Overall diameter28.7″Sidewall110 mmRevs/mile ≈703

245 = tread width in millimetres · 45 = sidewall height as a percentage of that width · R20 = radial construction on a 20-inch wheel. Two sizes with the same overall diameter are speedometer-compatible — that is the whole game in staggering.
