I actually think it looks nice.

I still think you have 10&quot; rims. M/T N50's tread width are about 11 3/4-12&quot; wide give or take. If the rims were 12's the rim would be ballooning out past the sidewall/tread because the outside lip would be about 14&quot; wide and it appears not to be doing so in your pic.

The rims outside edge appears to be equal or slightly less of the tire tread of 12 inches. You also do not have much negative (reverse) deep dish offset. If those were 12's your tires would be way into the rear leaf springs and most likely would have needed a shock relocation kit.

I have 10's on my car with N50's and they have the same exact look as yours. My 10's measure 12' outside lip to outside lip.

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.

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.
