i have an old peter lynn buggy with midi wheels and want some big foot wheels, anyone got anything ?

No but if you find some and want to get rid of the midis let me know

The PL wheels are one size. The tires are various sizes. The PL Midi's are the standard wheel and the tire is wider than the basic barrow tire. The bigfoot lights are the basic PL wheel(2.75" wide by 8") with bigfoot tires.

Are you looking for the CadKat wheels or the Sysmic wheels? both of them come in 8"x8" or 4"x8" in the Sysmic.

You have to be a bit more specific in your request. Biggest what?
Your bug, if you have midi's on all 3 wheels, is as big as you can get with out going bigger on the rear axle. I wouldn't recommend it but its your butt, er I mean your bug.
The standard barrow tire, the midi tire, and the bigfoot tire will fit the PL plastic wheel. If you want more width in the wheel you can go to the Sysmic 4" wide wheel, or if you want wider yet, the Sysmic has an 8" wide wheel and so does CadKat. The question is can your bug handle the wider wheels, let alone the wider tires.

EDIT, if you want the biggest tire and wheel possible, I have an Appex Buggy with motorcycle wheels that make it look like a monster truck. I would be happy to let you have the wheels and tires for 4500.00, you get the buggy as a free accessory.

i think it will handle bigger wheels as it is a large buggy, i just sink in the sand alot :)

and keep in mind for your front end you may need a bigger fork an definitely need a kinked downtube to set up for bigger tires

Not sure what are u looking for exactly, but I also had issue with softer sand so I changed my wheels to these recently:
