Default need help find onroad, rubber tires to fit these RC-Art wheels

I just needed some help finding rubber, onroad tires to fit these 2 pairs of wheels from RC-Art (which is based in Japan). I'm working on a RC car project, and I LOVE these wheels. I just can't find any tires that would positively fit these wheels.

The first set of wheels (the black ones) are:
Item Name : SSR Professor TF1 FLAT BLACK (Rimumekki)
Brand Name : RC-ART
OFFSET : 6mm

The second set of wheels (chrome color) are:
Item name: SSR Professor TF-1
Brand Name: RC-ART
OFFSET: 10mm

I asked the sellers, and they couldn't give me any help on what tires would fit them. So I was hoping someone here would know more

I would start off by measuring them. Just by looking at them, I'd guess 1/10 scale...possibly have a look at what HPI has to offer in their touring car tire options.

thanks for the response. They're definitely for 1/10th RC. The person selling the 6mm offset finally got back to me, and said they were 26mm. He said 1/10 general tires would fit, but then he told me they were drift wheels (not ideal for onroad tires). So I guess the new question becomes: are onroad, rubber tires incompatible with drift wheels like that?

I don't know what would make a wheel drift specific. Drift tires come in many different shapes and forms. The wheels look like they have a place for a bead to sit in. Just match up tire width, and glue 'em up.
