Rusty92 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Looking for some modern street tires to fit the wheels from the Moebius 1969 F-100. Or if there is a company that makes steel wheels in a bigger diameter (18"-20") that comes with modern street tires. The kit ones are a bit too big sidewall-wise. Thanks!

Fabrux Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 You might have to start looking on Shapeways for wheels like those. I haven't come across any that big from resin suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the size or diameter of the wheels in the kit? There are more modern radial style tires available, like Goodyear Wrangler ATs from some Revel Chevy and the Dodge Ram VTS truck kits, but they are 16" or 17".

But thank you for the reference to those kits, I'll keep that in mind if I find some larger steel wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sidewall could be a little smaller, just something with a more modern street tread pattern. The kit wheels look like what came on them in '69.
