I have a tyre which is 19mm width which is 2mm overly wide & of of tyre 73.5mm which is 4mm overly big on od. It also has correct tread pattern and is readily available.
If you can live with that i send a link where to buy

Hey, Will, why don't you post that link right here.

They used on the JJRC Q65 Willys Jeep
But with custom 3D printed wheels they look the part i think?

I am doing this for my Dukw and size the wheel to make it look more inline with wheel. The only thing that will be hard is to hide the lower profile tyre wall, but i think a smoothed in lip and then painted black will make it look just right

Will,
Thank you for sharing the link with us. These look very nice, as you said. Are you using one of the 3D printed hulls, or are you scratch building your DUKW?
Thanks,
Jack

Thanks, Will, those look pretty good. Hopefully, in a month or two, they'll come down a little bit in price, just like the rest of the wpl and jjrc parts did.

3d printing a dukw. Alot of custom parts to design still, but it has to float and drive.
The tyres are cheapo thought, but I have 6 of these jeeps anyway in boxes to rob parts off haha

So those are the tires and rims from the Jeep? And they fit right on the wpl axles?

Yup
Hint, jjrc axles are plastic, but they are slightly wider than wpl and also they are stronger. My jeep has my dual 180 setup on it and running 3s with no issues at all

Frank Heritage figured out the right wheel size and the tires pretty darn well. I got his 3D printed wheels and tires in today's mail. Frank, you have done a spectacular job with these! I could not be happier.Many thanks to you!

I also received Headlights, tail lights and light guards for the DUKW, as well as two 5 gallon jerry can holders and an anchor for the rear of the DUKW. I ordered a set of woven boat bumpers. I also got a set of tools and a box for them to put inside the vehicle. I have many other parts to make for the front and rear sections.

I will post photographs as soon as I can figure out how to post them up, etc.
