Re Tire Question I need HELP

[raildogg]

I want to build one of those neat widening trailers, seen in this form from Hessel . But I can't seem to locate any 17.5" scale rims or tires for it. Using a larger American type wheel tire set just messes up the geometry of the whole thing. Hessel got his 3D printed so I can't use his source, there isn't one.

Anyone know about a place to buy these. I would do the same as Hessel but my graphics card isn't good enough to render a complete tire stl. file.

I've gone through about $150.00 of resin and silicone, in completely unsuccessful attempts at making molds, I've even lost the master for them.

I need some help I don't care if they are in Europe either!

These are wheels and tires I mastered and sell resin copies of. Top left is a 17.5 two hole with six lugs, top right is a 17.5 two hole with ten lugs. Lower left is a 15" three spoke. Lower right is the Goodyear tire found in MPC, ERTL and the newer AMT re-releases to use for size comparison.

Ben, how can I get the ten lug, two hole model?

Is the smallest one, the one in the lower left hand corner, on tires that have a scale max. outside diameter of 30-31.00".

It's the tire dimensions that are important.

Please send information as to how to purchase them.

Thank you very much, Ben you just, may have saved, my efforts from the dust bin!!!
