Never done it.... but, it would have more low end with the smaller wheels, wouldn't handle wortha' beans, it would be unstable, and... would look funny... IMO.

Try [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXNPN7&P=0]THESE[/link] instead. The infamous Komodo Dragon. They mount on regular maxx size MT wheels.

RE: monster trucks with buggy wheels
wait, are you saying that buggy WHEELS, not tires, are the same as regular wheels monster trucks have?

No, but the difference isn't necassarily a bad thing. The newer MT rims are only about 1/2" wider than buggy rims. Tires can be trimmed to fit this, either by removing a center piece of the tire and glueing back together or by trimming the bead off the tire and then using the sidewall as the new bead.
