I don't know which wheels to use instead:

Very nice!  I _believe_ there's a set of balloon tires that are
slightly larger from a Technic set (maybe the ones in set 5283,
at 43.2mm?).  I was building a custom 4WD around the same scale,
and those wheels seemed about right.

If they weren't balloon tires, they just might work.  But they look silly
since they are so wide, and are just a tiny bit too big.  Anyway, I only
have 1 or 2 of those wheels...
Thanks anyway,

Okay...someone gave me a set as they were leaving our company that seems to
have some that might be just right.  I found a link to the set, the Nitro
Bike GTX500, here on Lugnet: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8210

No balloons (I agree, that's probably not the look you wanted)...think these'd
work?  The tires on the (real) Hummer are HUGE.

Good luck - you've inspired me to give something in that scale a shot too!
