Shucks, the way 1:1 wheel sizes keep increasing each year 2.2's will soon be more scale than 1.9ers

| I think the norm is 17" wheels with a fair amount of 18's in there. My Bronc has 39.5's on 15's and I can tell you that my friends Bronc with 39.5's on 17's feels much more stable at low tire pressures. I'd switch but the 17" IROK's are narrower and I don't like the look as well. |

It all depends on the body you use. 1/8 scale bodies like the HPI Bronco or Defender look pretty silly on 1.9's, but a set of narrowed 2.2's look right at home under there. But those same 2.2's are way oversized for a Clod body. You can even get away with 2.2's on a 1/6 build (I know they scale out to 13, but they look right). I like narrowed Claws on widened 1.9 rims. |

foe dee foes are not a common tire on a weekend warrior truck, but that trucks not scale at all, youre taillights are clear and your driver is near nekkid. it was said somewhere that a clod body looks near outrageous with 2.2s but the same 2.2s will look great like that toyota above. scale appearance to the truck it what everyones after.
