Quiet Eric Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Trying to find something like this and not sure where to begin looking as I've never dealt with any aftermarket "truck" suppliers except that I know there are a lot of guys out there now.

Plowboy Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 You can make your own wheels with a set of Pegasus sleeves. I'd stick a set of chrome reverse wheels with baby moon hubcaps in a set, paint them and rechrome the hubcap. For the tires, I'd try the Desert Dogs from the AMT '84 GMC "Deserter". I made these wheels with the sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Eric Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Thanks guys. Those resin 24" ones on ebay are way too big. Good idea with the pegasus sleeves. The tires from the Deserter are cartoonishly large so I'll keep looking there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Fireball. http://www.fireballmodels.info/ Joseph's got a lot of off road wheels and tires, and his work is beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 There's a very nice (IMHO) set of semi-modern BFG radial tires included with the 1/25 Revell Ford Raptor Snap Tite Max kit, but they are 17".

Erik Smith Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Finding the tires will be the hard part. 3Dscaleparts has some, no idea if they interchange with the steel wheels - and as you can see, won’t be cheap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Eric Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Thanks for those Erik! That first set of wheels might be just the ticket. Tires are going to be the issue I think. I had reached out to the 3dscale guy seeing if he might offer an option for me as he makes the wheels and the tires I need, just not together. Haven't heard back yet though and yeah, kinds pricey! The Raptor tires might be something I can work with, thanks Casey! I think I also might have some luck buying resin tires that are close enough and opening up the center to fit the larger wheels, then contouring the sidewalls to the right shape.
