Default What size wheels for 1/3 scale Tri Pacer?

Bought a used 1/3 scale Tri Pacer wheels are not scale, Anyone know what size wheels people are putting on their 1/3 scale Tri Pacer? I will want to put on wheel pants, anyone know where you can buy pants for a 1/3 scale Tri Pacer? . I have 1/3 scale cub wheels but they seem too wide. Is the front wheel the same size as the mains?

Thanks for any help

Tri Pacers (Nose Wheel and Mains) used 6.00-6 tires which are between 16.8" and 17.5". 5.25" or 5.5" tires would be scale at 1/3 scale.

Thank you sir, The cub wheels I have are 5.5" so I will use them. Not sure how the wheel pants will fit over them but that's part of the fun, figuring out how to make it work..

Cub wheels are inappropriate for a Tri Pacer. I would suggest something like these: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXD786&P=SM

I prefer Fiberrglass Speciaties. Their glass products seem to be a bit more robust.

I plan to order the wheel pants for my Cub, from them.
