Wrangler with 4 wide wheels
This is my Jeep Wrangler with 4 wide wheels. The body was modified to resolve problems with the steering.

Mine:
This is the mounting system. The stick part goes through the hole where the fake spare tire used to go, and then the Lego tire goes back on. It also lifted the body.

T otell you the truth, it so highly geared wit the bg wheels that it takes a long stretch to get up to speed, but it did not seem to ever flip.

I had to add a second steering return spring because the front wheels were a little squirrley. The only flipping problem I've had is just when it turns too sharply at high speed. (dual celled)

err, forgot jeeps were the normal zzs. yea i figured steering might be a bit sluggish trying to push those big tires. rare earth magnet would fix it right up though.

I had the lego tires on the jeep for about 5 minutes before I ordered a pair of nimh batteries for it. The dual (or tri) cell mod really make the magnetic steering a LOT stronger.
BTW, the steering magnet on all my ZZs are neodymium, did they use to use something weaker than that?

not to sure about what the stock ones are made of and if/when they changed it. the last normal zz i bought was a 2 fast 2 furious supra or evo i think. i swaped the steering magnet for the "rare earth" one that rs sells and it made the steering noticably more responsive. as you said the incresed voltage would do the same too.

how do you mount the wheel onto the wheel thingy? and do you have to make the wheel well bigger so the wheels dont scrub? and can you post up pics too on how to do it thx.
