hedotwo Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 I had a 1:1 '93 STX and am happy there is an AMT kit of it, but the included rims aren't what mine had. The pic shows what I had (actually mine was black just like the pic). I know I'm probably going to end up using the kit rims but thought I'd ask first. Thanks
Plowboy Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 These are about as close as you're gonna get. Unfortunately, they're not directional.
hedotwo Posted May 5, 2022 Author Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) What kit is the pic of Rog? I can't tell ?.. shortbox F150? Edited May 5, 2022 by hedotwo
Plowboy Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 The wheels are from the AMT F-150. I think they were in every issue. Was your full scale a long or short bed?
hedotwo Posted May 5, 2022 Author Posted May 5, 2022 Long bed but not an extended cab. Salesman tried to talk me out of that cab and get the extended but I didn't listen. When winter came and I started wearing my heavy coat and misc it became pretty cramped. I remember the seats were really big and comfortable for a small truck. I'll see if I can locate a set of those wheels... thanks a bunch! 1
Exotics_Builder Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) These are the closest I've seen to those Edited May 5, 2022 by Exotics_Builder
kelson Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 I seem to remember them in Lindbergs 94' Jurrasic Park ford explorer,but they're 1/20 scale.?
Monty Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 IIRC the most recent release of the AMT '57 Ford had similar optional wheels.
Bills72sj Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 I likely have some in my stash. PM me if you are up for some trading.

Thanks If you can find someone to 3D print them for you, I can design them and send the file to you. I can replicate the originals exactly.

Maindrian Pace Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Maisto 1:24 scale Explorer. These are plentiful and cheap.

slusher Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 If I had them I would send them to you. Look on evil bay you may just find them.. 1
hedotwo Posted May 8, 2022 Author Posted May 8, 2022 If anyone out there has the Maisto Explorer with the rims shown in the pics above could you measure the OD of the tire/rim combo and the OD of just the rim? Just wondering if they'd be too large for the 1/25 Ranger. Also, I just scanned ebay listings for Maisto Explorers (assuming those are the only ones offered with those rims) and found a few listings for complete diecasts. Not sure I want to pay for a complete model to rob the rims so I'm hoping either a junkyard offering comes up or better yet, just the rims. Thanks
Maindrian Pace Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 I don't have the measurements, but here they are in the AMT Firestone ATX tires. You need to enlarge the tire I.D. a little bit to get them there, but they do fit nicely.
