Found tires to fit the Revell Magnum Rims

[Rick Schmidt]

Yep just as the title says I found a good tire to fit the extra rims in your Revell Magnum kits. I see this as a way to make use of the stock rims and the Custom rims without needing two Magnums. I found this out by accident. The tires from typical Maisto diecasts with lo pros fit them very nice.

they need to be stretched a bit to go around them but these tires stretch a ways cause of how soft they are. as ya can see they fit without being ruined or mishapen. Now I can't tell ya exactly which diecasts have the right tires because of how I switch rims and this set was in my junk pile. I do know the Maisto 2002 ? Impala had them tho

Also for those of you with the Jada Shelby .... they look good under it lol

Thanks, this should help me find some use for my spares as well.

Hmmm.......that's a good tip Rick!

Another tire I found that works well, is if you use the rear tires out of the standard C6 Corvette. I always thought the sidewall profile of the kit tires were a bit too tall for a SRT-8.

The kit tires seem more suited for a regular RT..........

Here's a side shot of a Magnum I did last year where I used the rears out of the 'Vette for all fours on the car..........

Bill Thats a nice look too. Seems I'm not the only one who has been trying to find new tires for these rims Wonder what other options there are ??
