How much wider is the charger Widebody?

The Dodge Charger Widebody is a high-performance variant of the Charger sedan that features a wider body design. Compared to the standard Charger, the Widebody model is approximately 3.5 inches wider overall.


Explaining the Charger Widebody's Increased Width


The Dodge Charger Widebody is designed to provide enhanced performance and handling capabilities compared to the standard Charger model. One of the key differences is the wider body, which allows for the installation of larger wheels and tires.


Specifically, the Charger Widebody features fender flares that add 3.5 inches to the overall width of the vehicle. This extra width accommodates 20-inch by 11-inch wheels wrapped in high-performance tires, compared to the standard 20-inch by 9-inch wheels on the regular Charger.


The wider stance and larger wheels/tires improve the Charger Widebody's grip and cornering abilities, making it better suited for high-performance driving on the track or winding roads. The increased width also gives the Widebody a more aggressive, muscular appearance compared to the standard Charger.


Key Dimensions of the Charger Widebody



  • Overall width of the Charger Widebody: 78.3 inches

  • Overall width of the standard Charger: 74.8 inches

  • Difference in width: 3.5 inches


So in summary, the Dodge Charger Widebody is approximately 3.5 inches wider than the standard Charger model, thanks to its flared fenders and larger wheel/tire package. This extra width is a key part of the Widebody's enhanced performance and styling.
