Early production Tiger I road wheel diameter.

Anyone have the diameter specs for Early Tiger road wheels? Mostly I was wondering if I might be able to get away with using the 1/16 wheels found on the airsoft Tiger on my North Africa custom.

Thanks.

Don't have access to date at the moment but you can figure the size out if you already have the 1/16 road wheel. Measure the 1/16 road wheel and multiply by 16. For example if the road wheel is 2 Inches, That would represent 32 inches. You can then divide 32 inches by 18. The answer, 1 3/4(roughly), would be the size a 1/18 road wheel would be.

Another way to figure it would be that a 2 in road wheel represents a real life version of 32 in for 1/16 scale and a 36 in version for 1/18 scale.

I don't have the 1/16 Tiger yet, but figure I'll be getting one if only for the Feilfel air cleaner. Thanks for the math grockwood.

The older rubber wheels are the same diameter as the steel wheels. The only thing that realy stands out is the dish. If you look at photos the older rubber wheels almost come out to the edge of the tracks. The 1/16 bogies will be way to big to work.
