you'll need like 5 or 6 swampers (i asume ou are talking about the mud slingers, yes?) cut them perpendicular to the tread and add tire sections so that the tire becomes the height you want it. if you have the capabilites to run a 14mm or 17mm hex you can make them big enough to fit on a standard maxx size wheel (3.2") which should make your tire to be about 6". If you can only put these on a 12mm hex wheel you could make the tires big enough to fit onto a jato 2.8" wheel which would give you an outer diameter of 5.6". If you want to put these on a 2.2 wheel you will have to glue some 2.2 sidewalls in to bring the inner diameter back down to 2.2". hope this helps

here is a link to a custom tire with a similar concept: LOSI ROCK CLAWS Supersized
do some searching if this still doesn't help.
