Wheel Troubles

Were having issues with wheel sizing and rear cabin height and floor space.

Lets chat.

The standard truck tire size is smaller than one meter, the representational tires we are currently using are too big, and theyll rip up too much terrain.

Also, its been repeated that the cabin is too Low in height.

What are our opinions?

    why whats wrong. the tyers are made to grip the terrain. i no it has to be zero foot print. but in times of emergency its better to have a tyre that will grip the earth. we can scale the wheels down in 3ds max. and why cant we highten the top of the vehicle so that we can have more head space. it will just be a tad higher that it was.
