most guys use BareMetal foil found at better art stores. i was too cheap and used aluminum duct tape i had from some home repairs. get a 100 foot roll for about 8 bucks. used a toothpick and q-tip to get it in the corners. also got the swampers at a hobby shop. they're the real deal. they have lots of different types of tires. these were the largest i could find that looked like the real think. i do have some 44 inch ground hawgs from a truck puller model. they are OK, but two run "backwards" to see the letters.

oh, and the suspension isn't moveable, it's glued articulating. take it off the rock and the tires are still stuffed! looks kinda funny unless it's sitting on something.
