Nitroholic Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) If this is the 1/8 truck, if I remember right...these were 17mm hexes, but had the HUGE offset. these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315091795333?hash=item495cef3d85:g:XeQAAOSw~jlloS9S They turn up from time to time on E-Bay, usually at stupid prices as they get bolted onto other trucks to give a very wide stance. An alternative is to find some extended wheel hexes so you can use more normal offset truck wheels and tyres. oh...and I wouldn;t buy those ones. £60..and they are ruined.

foxy Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Yeh I’ve seen those they wouldn’t fit mine as mine are the 12mm hex not 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 then your wheels would have been these ones: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325666264262 Look like bog standard 1/10 monster truck wheels/tyres.... so... https://www.modelsport.co.uk/wheels-tyres/wheels-tyre-sets/truck/110/12mm-hex?

foxy Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Yes that’s them so any of them ones you have linked form model sport should fit? Cheers for your help mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I'd steer away from the Tamiya ones as the truck they go on is 1/12 scale.... but basically, the offset looks pretty standard, so it's all down to the overall diameter. If in doubt...you can always give the shop a call. I've always found them helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 (edited) Them wheels you sent the link for of the same wheels as mine the seller says they are 5inches high and 3 inch wide so not sure how to work out the full diameter.
