You might have to make your own tires and wheels. I don't think I've ever seen anything narrow enough (Besides Tamiya Semi Wheels).

Are you going to leave the RPM bumper on the front (I'd almost say shop the ends, paint it black, and fill in the center for a front skid look).

Hmm. Take a look at RC4WD's Super Narrow Tires/Wheels, or 1.55s [perhaps]. Also, The front wheels from the tamiya buggy may work (Also, look at the losi desert buggy fronts.).. The only issue I can for see is tire height.
