Wider tire under the Petty Plymouth

You can mount some wider tires if you try the offset tires Paul makes. EDIT: TIRE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Then flush sand the inside.

You CAN sand the inside of the fenders on that car as well. You may not think so, but it's thick enough to where you can get a wider tire inside.

Harry,

You are TOO into my head. I was just thinking of perhaps making some "offset" tires earlier today.

This is really kind of scary.

Thank you.

Marty, I made a mistake. These offset tires are no longer made. Not sure if they will come back as the response for them was not a lot.

Try using the newer SE tires that have the reduced sidewalls instead.

Will remove the link.
