Status: offline 		I am trying to find the same thing out myself. I know Aerotech offers a set of wheels at $145 for the pair. I do not recall the size.

I have also sent an inquiry to Darrell Tinney at Sierra Precision to see if he offers a set.

Lastly, you could always go with Glennis.

Here's their respective URL's:

I have a set of Williams Brothers wheels at home from a Yellow P-47 I picked up earlier this year. If no one has given you the dimensions by the time I get home, I'll measure the tires and let you know the diameter.

Status: offline 		used a set of dubro 4.5 in. Had to sand both sides of wheels thin to fit in wheel well which is fully enclosed with doors. Sierra makes a baeutiful set with scale hubs but very expensive. Robart makes a set of scale 5" lot less $$. Mine is 1:5 scale

Status: offline 		P-47 I sent you an email.. My yellow tires are 4 5/8. you could use 4.5 from dubro or sullivan.. I would not go larger than 4.75. you may run into problems going into the wheel well.. Robart makes aluminum hubs that are reasonable... check the for sizes...... Regards BobH.

Status: offline 		Glennis does make wheels for the Yellow P-47 and has since the introduction of the kit.

We do not manufacture 4 1/4" diameter (which is what the inquiry was about), but the 4 1/2" and 5" (which is the size it originally used) are standard items.
