Fairchild 91 Wheels

Does anybody know of a source for replacement wheels of this aircraft? What size were they anyway?

Comparing this photo

With this one

I'd say that they're more or less a similar size to Grumman Goose wheels.

For sure one can read it out from scale drawings:

Thanks for this interesting thread about the Fairchild 91. I've got this kit in my stack, too, and I am looking for civil decals for the model, but I can't find anything. I believe there had been 2 airplanes at Panair do Brasil. Has somebody an idea?
