Is anyone running 35 12.50 15 s on a 15x8? The site i looked at suggested a 8.5-10 inch wide rim for the 12.50. will it fit on an 8 inch with no problems or would a 15x10 be better?

jimbo74 · « **Reply #1 on:** May 19, 2009, 01:48:56 PM »

yes, it will fit on an 8"

this is actually what most people run them on.... i wouldnt run a 12.5" anything on a 10" wide wheel, unless you like to blow beads aired down, or like your truck to look like a hawaii sand truck

8" wheel with a 12.5" tire is the setup i would run

Thanks. yea my truck came with some rediculous 16x12 with 33 12.50's. they stuck 7 inches outside the fender so i had to get bushwacker 3.5inch flares to pass inspection. once the tires go bald i think im gonna get some 15x8 cragar soft 8's and sell the flares and trim the fender and maybe ball joint spacer to clear 35's

if it is wheeled, i would solid axle it.... 35s is pushing the limits of the ifs

actually jimbo i rn my 35s on 10" wide wheels without any problems. today i aired down to 10 and wheeled all day long and drove home without any problems at all

could be wheel design or some other factor, but just lettin it be know that i have had 0 problems and my brother who i bought the rims from has blown 1 bead at about 3psi on a fullsize chevy

i ran 15x10 rims for a long time with 35x12.5 tires. i never aired down passed 20psi, but you dont need to cause most if not all your tread is already on the ground.

I air my 35 bfgs down to 4psi, Im on 15x10 soft 8s. I have blown a bead once but that was because I got flopped in a ditch. Spring snow...

35 X 12.50 X 15 on 8" rim...... no problem do it all day

superyota · « **Reply #9 on:** May 20, 2009, 06:16:27 PM »

Thats a pic of some 35x12.50 MTRs on 15x10 rims... never blown a bead... in fact on Rubicon I pinched the bead like 6 times, letting air out each time but never actually blew a bead

Doesnt look like a Hawaii sand truck to me

Broke_Okie_Ty · « **Reply #11 on:** May 20, 2009, 06:37:28 PM »

its all a preference. i have friends that WILL NOT run anything other than 15x8 and then i have friends that like the 15x10. you just gotta find what works for your usage.

thanks nick I was just going to say somthing about a 10 inch wheel on a 12.50 looking like hawaiian style..... NOT EVEN!!!! Hawaiian style is a 16 inch wide wheel on a 12.50!

Yeah they rock ridiculously wide rims. 15x8s and 15x10s are pretty "standard" for wheeling

Yota-Freak · « **Reply #14 on:** May 20, 2009, 07:55:29 PM »

i rock 15x10's with ease as well...15x10's have my vote...plus if u decided to go fatter you wont have any problem.

yota_krawler · « **Reply #15 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:07:35 PM »

x2

go 10s, that way if you ever decide to run somthing wider (tire) then you dont have to buy rims again

Yota-Freak · « **Reply #16 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:12:32 PM »

make sure u go steel if you wheel it. just throwin that out there

Hammerhead · « **Reply #17 on:** May 23, 2009, 01:57:33 PM »

8" rim is perfect in a 35x12.50

potter85 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 25, 2009, 07:41:16 PM »

i rum 15x8 wheels on 35 12.50s and never a problem. i have aired down to 8 psi and been fine....
narrower tires have less surface area thus increasing the weight per square inch... wider tires have more surface area which is a lower weight per square inch. This is cool in the sand and if you want to hydoplane alot.

35 X 12.50 X 15 X 8

i want this exact setup 35 12.5 on 15x8 but my question is what kind of backspacing are you guys running? any rubbing when turning all the way locked?

i have a first gen with 3" lift. if that helps.

What he said.

I don't care about fender rubbing, that's what the my die-grinder is for. I wanna know about rubbing frame and suspension (leaf springs).

i run 35-12.5 on 15x8 and have blown a bead twice...... that was at 10lbs and no bead locks. now i run 13 to 15lbs and haven't blown a bead since.

thegoofster21 · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 30, 2009, 06:17:00 PM »

i have 15x10 with 33x12.5 i air down to 10lbs no prob

81yotalove · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 02, 2009, 01:20:04 PM »

i'll probably only air down to like 15-20 to be safe, but backspacing? what are you guys running for 12.5? or even 10.5 tires? thanks

jrock · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 02, 2009, 02:14:49 PM »

33x12.5 on 15x10. Run the Rubicon at 12psi. Only thing I didn't like was how easy it was to hurt my rim's lip. Did snow at 10psi and never had a problem.

I have been told to use 10in if you run on the street a lot. An 8in will round your tires enough to cause uneven wearing.

Back spacing really depends on if your planning to run wheel spacers.

yotarunner85 · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 02, 2009, 02:34:53 PM »

I am running 35-12.5-15 on 10" rims and the rim lip is pretty scratched up. I had some 8" rims felt they were a little to narrow but ok. Also had some 9" rims on my old 85 pickup they seemed perfect wish I still had those. I dont think they make them anymore.

GNasty 82 · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 02, 2009, 02:40:26 PM »

My question on backspacing, I guess is, do you ever have to worry about your tire diameter being large enough to scrub inner fender or leaf spring?
