I think I've got the right combination right now with the tires. Here's the rear slicks before....

Which looking back now they look a little too big. And here is what I have now that got sent to me from a fellow auto modeler and I don't have to cut any out of the rear wheel openings. I think they are gonna work...........very well.

Yeah.....now THAT'S more like it! :wink:

Ho hum...another masterpiece, stunning realism, incredible scratch and detail work. Nothing to see here....NOT

This is going to be a one of a kind! Can't wait. New tires definitely fit better, I do like the appearance of the sidewall on the first set though.

Thanks Lyle! I have to agree with you on the sidewalls of the first set of tires because I could have gotten Eagle GT decals for those. The profile of the replacement tires makes up the difference though and I think the trade off will be worth it.

Any chance to sand them down?

I did think about that but the profile is all wrong for the tire to be displayed as an Eagle GT.
