I was wondering if anybody knows where I can find some Low profile tires. I am asking because I bought some Fujimi Rims but the tires that come in the box are thick. Does anyone have a solution to my problem. Thanks.

The tires in the revell integra kit are pretty low-pro.

yea but I need a several, I like the ones that came with my XS Tuning tire, awesome tires. Do you think I could sand them from the inside. I doubt it but I might give it a try.

You can, but the sidewall will probably be like square-like. :o

If you do that, you'll end up with a tyre which is bigger than the rim, so it will fall off all the time. The only way to sand it down is from the outside, but you'll end up with no tread pattern.

Low pro slicks. I dont know if you like slicks are not but heres a way to make low pro slicks. Put the tires on a dremel bit and take a hobby knife, turn on the dremel and run the edge of the knife on the flat part of the tire.

Yea that has crossed my mind several times, but I want a tread pattern. I guess I will just have to settle for a thick wheel.

A bit farfetched solutions you gus come up with!
Why don't you just take a tyre designed to go on a 15 inch or so rim and put this on a bigger rim, that way the plastic or rubber will stretch and the tyre will look flatter, making it a low-profile tyre!.
