Bullitt Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Anyone know where to buy 1/16 scale street tires. I have the Minicraft 31 Ford High boy & would like to spruce up the wheels & tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino246gt Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Search on Shapeways for 3D model car parts and tires, there are lots of 1/16th scale things, and I believe MOST parts can be scaled to any size, maybe. Also take one with you to an RC store, they do have some very realistic looking wheels and tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Phil, what kind of tires are you looking for? I briefly offered some 1/16 Firestone tall n' taller bias ply tires with artillery wheels on Shapeways...pulled them to tweak the 3D files and never got around to re-uploading them but I could! These photos are from forum user Rat-T, who ordered a set roughly this time last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 They look pretty much like the stock ones in the kit. I'm kinda looking for old school Cragar, Keystone wheels with street tires. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there are not a ton of choices, there have been several 1/16 scale kits available trough the years which might provide good tires and wheels for you. The recently reissued 1/16 MPC '79 Firebird has decent Goodyear GT Radial street tires, the AMT '57 Chevy Bel Air convertible included some nice Cragar S/S wheels, etc. Do a search in the eBay Automotive Models & Kits section using 1/16 as your search term and check out your options. Don't forget to search Completed Items, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I have the Firebird, was going to build both large scale models at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
