yakloyd 6 Posted April 24, 2018 newbie novice from the 70's ... did anyone put 2'' wide foam tires on a m-05 or lowrider pumpkin thanks yak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1814 Posted April 24, 2018 You mean 2" wide in Width or Diameter? & why foam? 2" diameter is just std size touring car wheels. They fit fine on the chassis, but the body clearance will vary. Are you just after retro look chunky balloon tyres? A new avenue has recently appeared... T has introduced Racing TT02 trucks, they run a high sidewall tyre on a new racing truck size wheel... but my measuring suggests this wheel size is same a Mini size wheel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Ax 9325 Posted April 24, 2018 HPI Vintage wheels and tyres is the closes I could find to oldskool American wheels like slot mags. They're quite clever in that the visible wheel diameter is smaller than a conventional touring car rim, so the tyre looks chunkier, but the wheel still fits over touring car hubs and the tyre diameter isn't too big for a touring car arch. However, any 1.9" wheel is too big for a Pumpkin or Lunchbox body, both of which were designed to look right perched on top of a monster truck chassis. The arches have always been too small to get anything under them. IMO the Tamiya lowrider pumpkin doesn't look quite right - it sits too high and the wheels are too small. The solution is to get busy with the dremel and filler and custom-hack the body. Actually, no, the solution is to persuade someone to make a proper 1:10 body with flared arches that will accept a decent set of chunky deep dish wheels on a conventional touring car chassis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magnumb 97 Posted April 27, 2018 You guys are forgetting about gear head 1.55 5-slot mag wheels. Possibly the coolest wheel ever produced:) and the bead blasted one is really a show stopper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biz73 603 Posted April 27, 2018 Ampro (Pintopower) made up the wheels your are posting and are available from Shapeways. They are made to fit the on the 5 lug rear hub, so they will fit on the Lunchbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
