AMT 1957 Chrysler 300 kit tire size?


Recommended Posts

I'm working on build and am looking for the right sized tires.  I was told the AMT 1957 Chrysler 300 kit's tire's might be the right size I need. 

If anyone has an AMT 1957 Chrysler 300 kit, can you measure the outer diameter(height) of the tires for me in metric(millimeters)?

Thanks,

Mike.

Mike, I'm getting approximately 29mm for those tires. I used my dial calipers (the old fashioned kind), and then measured the points on a MM scale.

Hope this helps!

Michael, the O.D. of the tires in the '57 300C kit I have, (the stock one with the Coral colored car on the box), is 29mm. Good luck on your project, hope this helps!

Can one of you guys measure the inside diameter of these tires for me?  I need to see if the Jo-Han wheels will fit.

Thanks,

Mike.

Hey, Mike, the I.D. of those tires is 15 mm. I happened to have a Jo-Han '60 DeSoto nearby, it seems that with a little minor finessing the Jo-Han wheels should fit right into the tires from the 300.

Thanks Craig!  Now I just have to find a set of these tires.
