wheels for rockcrawling
« on: Feb 21, 2004, 07:06:07 AM »
Is 15 X 8 better for keeping a bead than lets say a 15 X 10 wheel with 35 x 12.5  R15??

Thanks,
Pablo

Yes go with the 8's.
I have a set of 33/14/15 boggers on some 8 inch wheels and i have only rolled a bead once and that was with 1 pound in them and i was doing donuts in the field and slid into a rut, and i jacked it up and it poped back on the bead with a lil air.
If you didn't make it, and it ain't broke, you didn't try hard enough.

Thanks guys for your input. I think I will go with the 15 X 8 black desert crawlers thru Desert Rat online. I will be running BF Goodrich AT 35x 12.5 R15's
