Anyone run a 35 12.50 on a 8 wheel

I run a 12.5 on a 10 wide but there are plenty of people runnin 12.5 on an 8 wide.

12.5 is fine on a 8 inch rim, will allso helop you keep from poppin a bead when aired down( poor mans beadlock)

i would rather run my 12.50" wide tires on 8" wheels..... here's a pic of 35x12.50 claws on 15x8 wheels:

Yep, an 8" wheel is actually the preferable size for 12.50s due to it holding the bead better like Jason said.

Guessing, would say just you.

I run 35x12.5 r15 on a 15x8 wheel and think it is perfect.

8" wheel is better than 10" wheel

I'm running 36x12.5x15 on 8" rim. Works great and makes the tire stand taller.
