Random Truck Question

Post by Sovereign »

Anyone know the approximate size of the tires used on a semi-trailer ("18 wheeler") truck? I'm trying to do a semi-accurate model of one in Rhino 3D, and while I have trailer dimensions down (53' long, 102" wide, 13' tall) I have no idea how big the tires/wheels are supposed to be. Google couldn't find it...

Give me about 10min and I'll go out back and measure one for you. I know the over all diameter is 42", don't remember the width or rim size off the top of my head.
