Use the 10 mm front and 12 mm rear reference

The listed factory wheel-size reference is 10 mm front and 12 mm rear. The front and rear sizes differ, so note the position when planning replacement wheels. This listing gives a reference for the original factory setup; it does not guarantee every aftermarket wheel will fit. Compare diameter, width, axle length, inner spacing, and body clearance for your particular casting before you order.

Dry-fit parts before painting and final assembly. Check that the pieces seat properly and that the wheels turn without rubbing. Custom wheels are sold separately. Browse wheels and rubber tires only after checking the dimensions and fit for your project. Optional decal sheets are another way to personalize the finished build; confirm their scale and design details on the listing.

Check variations and optional parts

Interior, window, and original wheel colors may vary. The supplied casting matches the model named in the listing, but visible colors and small details can differ between examples. Look through the current product photos and listing notes before purchasing. If a specific variation matters to your project, ask the shop what is currently available.
