| Alright , I screwed up on tires the first time so I'm trying to get it right this time. What width wheels are best on a 35x12.5" tire 8" or 10" and why? | |

| 8 inch width on a 12.50 tire in my opinion sinks the side wall in to much. A 10 width will give the tire a much wider look. | |

| I would choose a 7" or 8" wheel if you wheel. The narrow rim will hold the tire bead much better when aired down.
The 10" wheel would be much more susceptible to blowing a bead. | |

Yup- running 8" here with a 12.5" tire. Never had any problems. Been airing down to 9-10psi lately and still no issues. | |

| yep, 8 if you wheel 10 if you don't
I run 9.75 with a 35 13.50,,, stumbled into both cheap, but would choose a smaller wheel if I had found one used | |

As far as his avatar in my derams its a mug of beer made out bacon exactly! It's a Bacon Beer Mug. Your rig looks mean now. Blacked out windows and wheels. I only asked bout the spare cause I couldn't see it in the pic. I would hate to see some little 31" sitting back there with those monsters.  | |
