I am planning on a Proline Colorado ZR2 build on my CSX-10II and want to put on a bigger tire/wheel combination. I am looking for suggestions on a great looking combination that isn't too big. Specific makes, models and pictures would be helpful too, Thanks.
 
I would think a class 1 tire would look great on there. Pro-line's photos seem to show the class 1 KM3.

I would go with a BFG all terrain (4.19) that would be pretty common to see in the 1:1 world.

The 1:1 truck does not have large tires for an off road vehicle, at only about 31" diameter, so from an appearance standpoint a smaller diameter tire would definitely look right at home.

There are some good examples out there, but I'd have to say my favorite is the ZR2 on DPCardoza's truck. Check out the forum post below:

Agree with the tiny tire suggestions. It’s right at home with a 4.19” tire. With slight trimming of the wheel wells a 4.3” tire but anything bigger just looks silly. I test fit some 4.75” Krawlers and it’s just dumb looking.

I agree, but running a tire that small would make the truck near useless unless your after a road runner.

I should have said probable for a 1:1 rather than common.

Well yeah, I'm not suggesting anyone try to exactly mimic the 1:1 tire size with their scale Colorado. Like you point out, that would not be very fun. But, based on looks, a class 1 sized tire would look good with the Proline Colorado body, IMO.

4-4.3” looks right at home on the body. I still get slight body rub when the shock is bottomed out nothing major

I bought a set of Pro-Line Hyrax Rock Terrain on Impulse Black/Silver wheels, trimmed the body and go t it located at a pretty good height for clearance.
