Rim Width

[88chevy]

I have a buddy thats got some 38.5x14.5-15 on a 8" wide rim. I told him to go with a 10" wide but hes thinking either that or a 12" wide.  Just wanted to know your guys thoughts?

id say 10 too but any wider 12..

[betterbeaters]

10 -12  both will work! I got 44x19.5 boggers on 12s!

[Eroq]

how long have they been mounted on 8s? might not be able to get them to set on the 12s if theyve been on there for a while...

I have a set of 35x16x15 boggers mounted on 10" rims and it works just fine I wouldn't go any wider than 10's

[88chevy]

well he bought the truck about 4 months ago and they were on that way before he bought it

[bigdawg41]

10's will work fine

[TBigLug]

I'd use 10's. 12's will give you less bulge in the sidewall but I'd feel safer mounting them on 10's if I was gonna air down.

Go with the 10's. My 35-15.50 swamper SX's are mounted on 10's. The skinnier rim helps hold the bead better. I've had them aired down to 3psi and never blown a bead.

haha might be a pain like eroq said. got a set of 18.5x44x16.5s that were on 9.75 rims, and went to put them on 14s and they were a pain in the ass. thats more of a difference, but you might still have trouble switching them

ok ill tell him to go with a 10" wide one.  Thanks everyone
