M-Chassis Alloy wheels. Fit High Lift ?

[backtomyroots]

This may be a stupid question, but will the aluminum wheels for the M-Chassis fit the stock High Lift tires/hubs ?  Yes,  I would like to keep it "all Tamiya".  Cheers.

No, the Hi Lift tires are for sedan diameter wheels (1.9")  so they won't fit on M-chassis alloys.  The wheels will fit the hex hub but that's about it.

Thanks cardesigner, what size tires are for the M-Chassis alloys ? (Sorry guys, I'm into trucks these small tires are all new to me !).  I assume, for my future reference that the rims I am referring to only fit the m-chassis cars then ?

Yes, the only fit M-chassis tires. Tamiya made also some touring alu wheels some years ago but they are very expensive and imho their designs wouldn't suit the F350 well.

The M chassis tyres are only around 55mm

in diameter, not much bigger than the Hi-Lift wheels themselves.They

are also only available as treaded road tyres or slicks. Not the best

choice for a Hi-Lift.

you'd definitely need to customise some tyres to fit. Maybe Nylint 1:18 tyres?

Well..... they kinda fit, but they leave the F350 looking like ya parked it in the South Bronx a bit too long.

Thanks for that Dephcon5.  Puts it all in perspective !  Now I know ! These were what I was referring to fellas:

Cool, that's what I have. they are modelled after the Cosmic wheels for the Beetle. YOpu would need to  custom some very fat tyres to fill the arches a bit!

The wheels that are used on f350 are touring car sized wheels (about 2inch diameter) whereas the mini wheels are much smaller in diameter.  You could find some aluminium wheels of touring car diameter to change the standard wheels Im sure.
