Hello everyone
On my second attempt at building the Revell 1/8 XKE.
I know this is sacrilegious but I am building it according to my personal preferences, sort of a “restomod” vibe, don’t hate me.
I was wondering if anyone knows where to find slightly bigger tires that would fit Colin’s Dunlop wheels.
Thanks and Happy New Year to everyone.

This isn’t an exact science. I just checked the ‘65 1/8 Chevy Corvette in my stash. The tires seem to have the same wheel diameter, but a slightly wider tread than the Jag. I would expect a few other 1/8 cars would likewise. So I would look for someone who’s parting those out on evil bay. There’s always a lot of parts doe sale.

Good luck,
Chris

Hi Chris I actually have that very model I built many years ago.
I will check the tire size.
Thank you for the tip.
