Could be, according to the tape measure in Radek's pictures the wheel is 7.5 cms wide (roughly 3 inches) - aren't carrier wheels less wide? You should be able to tell us, Rick!

Here's a nice picture of the bogie wheels & tracks on a Ford Maultier (source). Now, you tell me these are Universal Carrier parts...
