Title: Wheels.....8 or 10 inches wide?
Post by: 4BangerTJ on March 01, 2011, 11:56:40 AM

I'm gonna order my wheels today but I need some advice. I'm running 33x12.50x15s. My catalogs and all say to run a 9 to 11 inch wheel so I was gonna do a 15x10 but when I called 4wd they said its better to run an 8 inch cause I am less likely to pop a bead when airing down for the trails. Makes sense but I don't want my tire to wear uneven cause I'm putting it on too narro of a wheel either. So what are you guys running and what are some pros and cons?

You can run a narrower wheel you just have to lower the air preasure a little more to get the tires to sit flat with the road.  Right now my 36x12.50s are on 15x8 rims, my 34x10.50s are on 15x5.5 rims, and my 33x9.50 are on 15x6.

Do the 8 inch. 10's are to wide unless your running a real wide tire too.
