Here are a couple three "Big & Little" samples and their origins:

AMT '34 Ford 5ive Window Coupe Wire Rims & Tires - Monogram '41 Lincoln Convertible Steel Rims & Tires - Jo-Han '34 Mercedes - Benz 500K Dunlop Tires

Some already know this:

When using the Monogram '41 Lincoln Convertible Tires with the AMT '34 Ford 5ive Window Coupe Wire Rims the outside diameter (OD) of the rim needs to be increased by about 1 scale inch.

When using the AMT '34 Ford 5ive Window Coupe Tires with the Monogram '41 Lincoln Convertible Steel Rims the tires need to have the inside diameter (ID) increased by about 1 scale inch.

And, some may not know this:

Here's the part that is the most interesting, Jo-Han '34 Mercedes - Benz 500K Dunlop Tires fit the AMT '34 Ford 5ive Window Coupe Wire Rims perfectly and take on the Dirt Track look that will work great on lots of Indy Sprint Cars/Dirt Track Roadsters and Hot Rods of all kinds!!

btw The back tire is from the Jo-Han '34 Mercedes - Benz 500K and is the Dunlop Tire!

And here I always thought that the '41 Lincoln tires and wheels were to big to fit or work with any other tire or wheel combination.

Get bit of information Brother Wes, thank you for sharing.
