I haven't found factory statistics on the whitewall width but think you're in the ballpark for the Champion and Commander.
These are 2-7/8" on my '51.

the Champ was a pick-up truck produced with front sheet metal resembling the Lark.Brad Johnson,

The whitewalls on rockne10's car look nice, but I think that they are narrower than what is correct/came on a 1949/1950 Studebaker. I believe that your car (1950) should have a whitewall that is about 4 inches.
I checked factory literature for 1948 and 1949 (I didn't have 1950 handy.) and they show a WIDE whitewall that appears to almost go to the pavement, probably about four inches. There are NO whitwalls shown in the 1952 Studebaker literature (Korean War), except for one very small airbrushed picture showing WIDE whitewalls.
I would check your 1950 Studebaker literature and go by that.Gary L.
