I wouldn't consider them to be that wide. Mine's buried in the closet right now, but if I would have to guess I might say 30mm? they're fairly narrow. That's why I'm looking for a wider aftermarket style wheel and tire set if they exist. I want to do a custom build with one of those bike kits.

Shawn, Being you haven't specified a scale it's sort of an open ended question to me. I think Ray seems to figure you are talking 1/12th scale and your reply seems to concur. No matter the scale, for the most part, you may be able to find something you can use from a die-cast or die-cast and plastic motorcycle. Wal-mart, Ollies and most any major department store might be worth looking at. You might try the clearance aisle first.

check the die-casts of OCC or Jesse James bikes, some of those have ludicrously wide tyre/wheel combos and with a bit of scratchbuilding you could chop the spokes out of the wheel and just use the hub/rim/tyre with your own design spokes

all this assumes they'd be an appropriate scale for what you want

i've used the OCC 'Fire Engine' bike to build my own custom, basically only the engine and part of the frame were left, modified or replaced the wheels, forks, bodywork, carbs, exhaust, bars, lights
