i truly don't know if these will fit, but it says they're for 2 and 3 bolt rear wheels.

Gotta say ~ this was one of my all-time favorite cars.
Especially when I added a Composite Craft carbon fiber chassis (had to get my arm twisted to switch to the L-model)

There really should be a lot of tires "out there" - ANY/ALL 1/12th tires from that era car (and including 12L) will fit. :wink:
Look for Green-fronts/Yellow-rears. :mrgreen:

I started racing right as the 12L was comming out I ran a 12I for a little while but most of my racing was with the 12L but I remember there were guys in our club that did not change to the 12L. Those guys could still get their 12I's around the track better than most guys could with the new 12L. In the end the sunday A main filled up with all 12L chassis it took some time but it happened. The T-bar cars ended all the fun :) I wish I could just some unmounted rubber so i could mount my own tires like the old times.
My first car was a 12e (didn't even come with a working diff), so the flex-pod design of the 12i was like a world of difference. But like I said, I don't know if you ever saw any CC cf chassis kits, but just going carbon fiber made the 12i a VERY competitive ride.

I see some bulk sales of old TRC rubber on eBay from time to time, I guess you have to keep an eye out. I too remember the days of "mounting your own," seemed that only the rich guys bought pre-mounts, soaking off the old ones and gluing up a new set and truing down tires till I blew black funk out of my nose.........ah the good old days. :mrgreen:

That's a 12L, different car than a 12i.
