Maybe a Tamiya Hummer.. that's really scale and is 1/3 the cost of a Hi-Lift.. (you said scale..)

I don't think the hummer would look very scale with any bodies other than the hummer. The chassis was widened to fit the hummer so the wheels would probably stick out. However Tamiya makes another version of that chassis that isn't as wide. It's the ford f150 race truck. The high lift tires WILL will work with both versions of this truck.

The f150 in this movie has high lift tires on it.

Unfortunately the stock tires are the only tire that I know fit the stock rims. If you want spare tires for it...

It's too bad that not many companies make scale trucks. I mean what's not cool about driving around a truck like the one you drive?

However, since it uses standard 12mm hexes, 10th scale car wheels will fit. And if you put rally tires on them, they'll look pretty scale.
