Does anyone know if the Lunchie tyres are anywhere near the diameter of the 1/14 scale trucks , I know the truck tyres are smaller , but how small , as I want to use the 1/14 scale tyre stickers on Lunchie tyres and wonder if they could work , even if I manipulate the letter arch a bit . I did it a while ago with some Goodyear ones onto Tomahawk rear tyres and wonder if I have a fighting chance .

Cheers

Mounting diameter of a Tamiya truck tire is 1.7 inch (43.3mm) - External: 85mm (approx, depends on the tire type)

Mounting diameter of Lunchie tire is 1.9 inch (48.3mm) - External: 110mm

What is the "diameter" of the letter arch on the sticker? If it is around 77mm external, then it should be OK (77 is the max diameter of the Lunchie's tire wall)

I confess that I love tires. Sorry for images quality.

Thanks for the reply and the pics , very helpful . I'll check out the sizes you have given me.  I have LB tyres and ' Firestone'  stickers to compare to the sizes of the truck tyre . I'll make a drawing of the truck tyre and offer the lettering to it as a dry run . I can get Bridgestone letters to fit a Scania tyre , ( which I guess are smaller letters ) ,  but at this time not for LB tyres , so I'm hoping I can work something out . Thanks again , much appreciated.
