How to measure wheel/tire size

[R.D.F.]

I'm trying to get my build going and have a rear set of slicks that are big for my application. Was thinking of widening the fenders but think it's better if I find something that will fit (K.I.S.S.) I don't have anything else to choose from so when I go on the want page to ask for tires/wheels I know what size I can tell someone.

It's a Revell 41 Willys with the tubbed floor pan. I bought the pan off of Ebay and no tires or wheels came with it. I had the body already.

Thanks

You need to get one of these. A cheap one from harbor freight would work. they are also available in a digital style.

It's hard to say without seeing it in person, but the mid-70s MPC Pro-Stock kits had some slicks that seemed about right when I used them years ago. You might also troll eBay. Sometimes I come across people on there selling bundles of drag parts and you might try that.

I have one of these. I guess it's just measure the dimensions and ask people to do the same with their parts. I thought there was a modeling tire size chart or something along those lines to compare different ones.

Thanks for your input.
