well, I know I tried a 1:1 Prowler wheel on my HO Prowler and it wouldn't fit.

Cool pic, I like it. :lol:

Probably just the wrong rotors/lug pattern. Maybe try again? Lower profile tires?

That's really cool. Someone is a bit obsessed.

I'm always perplexed when I see posts here of modelers who only build in one scale. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but to me it's always about my interest in the car and the kit, and not really anything else. However, I do get extremely irritated when I order aftermarket parts that are listed as "fits 1/24 & 1/25" in scale that are too large for 1/25, such as wheels and tires.

Which ones specifically? I'm looking for wheels I can use on 1/20 scale builds.

That makes three of us - you and me too. The scale on the box really has nothing to do with the scale of the model. Sometimes a kit originally issued in 1/24 will be reissued in 1/25 - I believe Revell/Monogram's early 80's El Camino was like that. Jada's Shelby Mustang is labeled as 1/24-1/25. I really hate to mention this, but I have the last issue of Lindberg's Gremlin that has 1/24 on the box, but is actually 1/20 scale. Most 1/24 or 25 scale models seem to run between 1/22 and 1/27 in scale.

I too build what I like, with little regard for whether a particular model is 1/24 or 1/25. It really doesn't matter, and by limiting to one or the other scale, one would severely limit one's modeling subjects.

That is a great picture. I see that type of photo in model railroad-dom all the time, but only with models. Very cool.

Couldn't they find any bigger ones than shown??
