I think a wider set would be great but all my foam donuts are narrower. If I can round up some wider donuts I will go that route

Maybe you could cut the donuts in two halfs and add a ring for more wide. Just an idea if you can´t find wider donuts.

Thanks to Phin i located some trc front wheels to match the rears.

Swapped rear donuts to front and still trying to decide between the larger rears that are now on it or equal size as the front. I have quite a few pairs of AJ's to play with. If it goes NASCAR I am thinking equal size tires would look a little more realistic. With a GTP it's going to depend on the look of the body.

well if you have a hard time finding a 1/8th body you could do a 1/10th body and make it into a old scool funny car as they pushed the front wheels past the fenders

I'm STOKED!

I'm my monthly trip to some far away hobby stores I found a treasure buried

I don't know why I hadn't gone through the bodies before but I'm sure glad I did this time!
