Does it have a brake drum? If so possibly P-40 main.
Otherwise Nose for B-25?

Just working off photos. they were found in the back of a hangar. At first glance I thought they would fit our Corsair.

It beleive it is a B-25 nose wheel. There was someone looking for one recently in the Maintenance Hangar forum.

Looking at tire sizes, it fits a AT-9, and a UC-64 as the mains, and the nosewheel on a B-25, and PBY. The wheel itself, I do not know.

I think not on the PBY.IRRC the 30SC fits the nose of the B-25 and the 30.00 fits the nose of a PBY. Can't remember if the 30.00 has SC on it or not. SC means SMOOTH CONTOUR.
