yeah, i kinda agree, the wheel wells were specifically designed for 3.5" tall tires (BFGs, hummers, etc) not the 3.7" slingers and hi lifts, i think im gonna stick with the BFGs.

Based on a picture I saw posted on scale4x4rc, the F350 tires are smaller diameter than the Hummer's, but I think fatter

I believe the F350's are ~3.7 in. diameter and the Hummer/LAV tires are 90mm by 33mm which is roughly 3-5/8 in by 1.5 in (remember 25mm=2.5cm=1in.) Anyways, I think the BFGs look good but maybe I would try the LAV tires...they look sort of military.

I like the mud slingers but you might need a lift or trim he fenders. I think they make it look like a civilian owend vehicle lol.

the body is made from .060 styrene sheets, cut and glued together.
the doors and window covers are made from .060 styrene with thin diamond plate styrene glued to it.
