Hello once again.

I be after a set of Tamiya Brat wheels and tyres (or Sand Blaster according to the image). The rear wheels must have the old style "star" hub, or whatever it's called.. I have NO idea. I'll put a photo below.

I believe the front wheels of the Sand Blaster was thinner than the rear... but I require the wheels that all the SAME size. So if anyone has a set of these (all 4) please do PM me as soon as you can. IT'S URGENT... somewhat. I'm currently watching a set on eBay, the auction ends on Wednesday at 8:20am, so if anyone does indeed have a set, please let me know before then :)

Many thanks.

FYI.. The Sand Blaster tyres as used on the front and rear of the Subaru Brat, F150 Ranger, Pajero and Wild Ceptor are identical in size width.. (and the same as fitted to the rear of the Fast Attack Vehicle, Rough Rider and Buggy Champ)

The wheels I believe are also the same width, however the front wheels do have a deeper offset than the rears, and the vintage fronts as used of the F150 Ranger and Subaru Brat (?) had a deeper offset yet again than those used on the vintage Pajero, and the re-releases..

EDIT..

Any "thin" Sand Blaster tyres that you have seen on Tamiya Club have been "cut and shut" (cut and reglued) to be smaller or thinner than the originals..

Backlash - Interesting. The thinner tyres I've seen recently weren't actually on TamiyaClub, but on other various sites. At least I'm SURE that's what I saw. But now I know that the Brat wheels are ALL the same size. And thanks for the link, I'll have a look and see what's what.

Dojo Dave - While that may be true of feeBay US, the selection of wheels and tyres on feeBay UK is somewhat limited. I'll keep looking though, maybe something will pop up in the next day or so.
