CWD Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Looking to see if anyone knows where I can get some front/rear wheels and tires for a VW Baja project... the 4x4 stuff doesn't really work, especially with the narrower wheels and tires for a true baja. Any kits these may come out of? Example... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalbert Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 You could maybe use some Tracker ATs from a revellogram kit, a piece could be sliced from the middle and the outsides glued back together to get a skinnier tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lownslow Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 maybe something from a Diecast? I saw one once.. Once... only one i know about, your best bet would be CNAID i think he has the narrow tires your looking for http://www.ebay.com/itm/Newray-1-24-Johnny-Greaves-Monster-Energy-Toyota-Tundra-Off-Road-Racing-Truck-/281077981981?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item41718da31d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs396 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) If these tires on this toy will work for you, they can be had MUCH cheaper in the form of a 6-wheeled military type toy found at Family Dollar stores for around $6 I think? Buy two toys & you have enough tires/wheels for three vehicles, that's what I did Edited March 15, 2013 by jeffs396 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanFordF1 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The Lindberg 1/25 Off-Road 4x4 F-150 kit has some fairly good BF Goodrich Mud Terrian tires, of course without the BFG lettering. Would work okay on rear but might be too wide for front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have interest, I have a set of B.F.Goodrich from the Limberg GMC sonoma truck kit 1/20, Like those ones: http://www.magazinepublisher.com/models/tires/images/bfg2t.jpg That I can trade for a set of tires like the Super Swampers in the Aoshima kit, or any other that I can use for others 4x4 projects I have in mind. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Lots of great ideas! Off to the store to see what I can find. I do have some older wheels and tires, which could be narrowed, it not sure how it would look. The 6 wheeled military vehicle actually sound pretty feasible, too. That's why this board is the coolest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoltz23 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I believe that both of the lindberg ZR2 (chevy and GMC) kits came with BFG Baja tires but as said earlier they are 1/20th. The only other that comes to mind are the BFgoodrich tires from the Xmods trucks, they have a very simiar wheel to whats on the Bug in your original post also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Not sure which tires these are, but the width looks close to what you want: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1734 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
