I think your car looks the best with Cragars but that's me.

Black69, M/T is not currently making the N50's nor the L60's so better hang onto yours for now. Coker makes them though but there kinda puny tread width wise in both sizes.

arg, the grasshopper is now reduced to larve.
Whitetop was right, these are 15 x 10.
tire top tread measures out to 12.2
the center bulge of the tire is 14&quot;
so the rim being 11 or so inches edge to edge, means the tire bead dimension is 10&quot;
very embarrased, I can't tell a 10&quot; wheel from a 12&quot;
its the sparkle that clouded my vision [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

by the way, the charger looks better in the cragars (I hate to say it NJsteve). Car looks awesome.

Thanks!
Nothin like a B-body Mopar for tire clearance. Gotta love when you can fit an L60x15 inside the wheel wells. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Even in '62 the rear wheel wells were cavernous on the Plymouth/Dodge B bodies! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: markjohnson</div><div class="ubbcode-body">As Bad-Ass &amp; Tuff as a fat-tire'd Challenger looks (I like it!), those tires will just throw up so many small rocks and other debris that you won't believe how bad the lower quarters will get peppered with paint chips back there. Especially with tires that have a little softer compounds. Just a little FYI. </div></div>

I guess the original owner knew that too [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] last ride in 76.

Steve,

When were cragars on a hemi charger &quot;original&quot;? Are You sure they are not just &quot;numbers'matching&quot; ? or mimimally &quot;date coded&quot; ? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
You better watch your verbage around here!! ha-ha

Seriously, that is one bad-ass look !!

[quote=njsteve]My hemi Charger with its original set of 1970 Cragars that the original owner put on back in January of 1970.
They are 15x4 front and 15x7 rears with the original 1972 Parnelli Jones L60x15s (hard as hockey pucks now). [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
