I was wondering if the Gaz-66 wheels are the same as the BTR-152 wheels, or are they totally different?

Thanks

AFAIK, both the BTR-152 (based on the ZiL-151/157 truck chassis) and the GAZ-66 are fitted with 12.00 x 18 tires...

Thanks for the reply, Frenchy

The reason I ask is that I have the Eastern Express Gaz-66 and I'm going to order this wheel set for it.. and I was wondering if I could also get a set for the BTR-152.

Even if the tires are the same, it seems it's not the case with the wheel rims :

GAZ-66 wheel :


ZiL-157 wheel (it looks like a divided rim) :


...but maybe they're interchangeable

Hmmm... this is the BTR kit I plan on getting.. the tires look somewhat different, but don't the rims look closer to the Gaz-66 rims in the pic you posted?



Hisham

In fact the BTR-152 can be fitted with both types of rims ! Just take a look at these walkarounds :

So it's up to you

Thanks for the help, Frenchy.... as long as it's possible, then I'm happy
