View Full Version : "King Size" Tires MoparWL 12-25-2005, 11:44 AM Found my old car carrier last night. Would like to use it for display but it is missing the two rear tires. Anyone know where I can get a pair (other than buying a donor from epay)? Its a Matchbox, King Size, model K-8. http://members.aol.com/jsw795/carry.jpg Roadster99 12-28-2005, 03:17 AM I don't know if it would work or not, but lego tires seem to look really close to those. You could give it a shot. 96gsfan 12-28-2005, 01:37 PM I think I may have an old dump truck with a couple of those size tires on it. Do you have an approximate O.D. and I.D.? I will check them to see if they fit. jedimario 12-28-2005, 08:49 PM I don't know if it would work or not, but lego tires seem to look really close to those. You could give it a shot. No they wouldn't, all the LEGO tires are too big. jedimario 12-28-2005, 08:51 PM EDIT-sorry double post MoparWL 12-29-2005, 10:49 PM The outside diameter is between 1/2 and 5/8 of an inch. The hubs are a little over 1/4 of an inch diameter. 96gsfan 01-03-2006, 01:01 PM Just checked my Dump truck. It still has all 4 tires on it and is in better shape than I remembered. Dont really want to pull the tires off it. Sorry. 96gsfan 05-22-2006, 03:00 PM Sent you a pm there Moparwl.
