1.9s are just too small for WK axles in my opinion. Even some of the smaller 2.2s look goofy, to me ~a 5" tall tire looks the best depending on the body

i run the rc4wd flash points on my 6x6 and i think they are a petty good size. so around 4. someting inches. 3. anything is too small. think of the wk axle as a one ton. has to have something big. good lusk with your build, and post up some pics!

I have CK/WK axles under an scx-10 chassis with 5 inch moabs on them. If I put 1.9's on those axles it would look funny, they are just too beefy.

I run Geolander tires on narrowed rims, 4 1/4" tall and 2" wide.

I run 2.2s on the wk axles. My favorite are the rc4wd mud slingers. That's probably because they look so aggressive on my rig but they are a nice overall size. Around 5 inches seems to be the best fit. The taller comp tires look unrealistic and the shorter scale tires make the axles look unrealistic.
