The tire is a tick under 1" tall, gonna have a hard time finding something shorter and scale ?
Again, possibly Proline V3's and the back and regular buggy in front ? Same height butrears will be a little wider.

May have to end up going that route. I was wanting beadlocks at least in the rear though for the scale look also.

Just had another idea. Wonder if I take a Maximizer beadlock and take say half a inch or so out of the middle so its half a inch narrower and leave the tire alone wonder how it would look. May have to do some trimming and stuff to the foam but it should be a little narrower and also balloon the tire up a little bit like a 1:1 quad front tire. Get what Im saying?

Still in the same predicament though. It aint the diameter of the wheel its the width. I need some rought the same diameter just buggy width in the front and maxx width out back. I believe my only options are the v2 and v3 buggy wheels or do some custom stuff. May end up going the custom route as I want beadlocks.

Ben down the road doing custom rims, pain in the ass. What ever you decide on I'm sure It'll be cool and look scale.

Yea, I found a good deal on a set of Maximizer beadlocks so I will probably pick them up and just go with the flow. Should turn out good.

Next things is color. What color should I paint the body? Black, White, or silver/grey?

A light color would be great to contrast the black chassis. What your favorite ATV,
paint it that color ? Do a Google image search for ATV to get some ideas.
