Depending the body style, some have larger fenders then others, so i guess it'll work with some of the body ithout modification needed to the body itself. As an example, the bumblebee have larges fenders compared to the civic or the supra.

Not to nitpick on the details, but that's a Ferrari F50, not a Lambo.

Anyways - I'm sure that as long as the basic dimensions of the wheels/tires are the same, a simple mod to get them to fit can't be that difficult.

Are the rims plastic?

lolz I was going to say the same thing anyway. Yeah if it is 1/24 scale they should work, but abandon all hopes with the tires. They get NO traction at all.

for 1/18 scale you will have to try it yourself. they may fit but turning might be difficult.

you'd have a luxury show car look
and you'd need a lot of fender trimming

I'm pretty sure just some fine grit sandpaper would do the trick.

ok, just the inside of the finder or the inside and outside? If it was on the outside i would have to paint it and i have never did that before.

Looks like i want be using them, okay, i got a Ferrari F355 dicast scale 1/24.
Do you think these wheels will fit without my having to sand the finders, or do you think there to small?

I took it apart, and heres pics

I think it should. once again you'll probably get either the bumble bee or the barricade so they both have wide fender
