Tires Resembling RWB Porsche Style

I have plans to mod a 1/24 911 Turbo '88 in the style of an RWB Porsche. I'm currently looking around for tires in that style (wide, 18-20 inch with low profile) and was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions. Thanks!

The best idea to me is to use tires from Tamiya GT2 "Road" kit, they probably are the widest available.

....and you haven`t still seen the car

the inserts are from a Aoshima wheel set, the aluminum rings from the 19" Foose set

Nice wheels throughout, the C1 wheels need more cleaning, Mike ones have an aluminium ring (just polish a little bit, thats all) and the tire pattern is crisper

Re: Tires Resembling RWB Porsche Style

I had my shop make me some alum barrels to fit the C1 wheels. I got both the 993 and the 964. 964 barrels are deeper
