Day 2 parts discussion

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.

I agree that the look on the car Suydam has is very tasteful.





I actually am a fan of the Mopar look when you move the spring pearch inboard, run a real fat tire and keep it within the wheel well.

I think my wife's 1971 Duster had a 10" wide wheel in the stock wheel house. Ran a set of N50's and it was tight. Later went to the 295/50.

You can't go wrong with having another set of mag wheels for your car. I say get a set with the inboad off-set you want and hang onto these too!

As Bad-Ass & 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.

thanks for the compliments, guys
the car did come back to life, when I put those monsters on it. It spent most of its life that way.
When I slipped the stock G60's back on, it was like I felt like I did the car a dis-service.

long live d2. or d3 for that matter.

white top, oh cragar jedi master, the wheels measure out rim to rim 11.5-12&quot;. u too suspicious, say grasshopper [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

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]









Instead of replating them I just blacked out the flakey lug area with some carefully masked barbeque-black spray paint. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

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

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 !!

LOL.

They went on the day after the car was delivered, so i guess they are &quot;birthday-matched&quot; versus &quot;born-with.&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Did you take a tire off the rim and measure it? If you never took off the tire it is very difficult to get a true rim measurement.

Here is a 10&quot; rim and the outside lip of the rim is 11&quot;. Your tread width is 12&quot; + or - so your outside rim should be 13&quot; outer lip to outer lip based upon mine being 11&quot; but in the side picture the outside rim outer lip looks further in than the tread width but then again I never did do well in physics so that might explain it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

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