I don't know about functionality but when I bought a set of stock rims they came with old junk 33/12.50/15's on them. Now I can't attest to the safety or performance of that setup, but yeah, they fit on there.

I run 33 12.50's on 15x7's just fine. On the race truck we ren 35 12.50's on a 15x7 no problems. I hate wheels wider than 8". I've put them down to 4 psi before with no problems.

You can generally go no more than 4 inches over the width of the rim, so that would be on the wide side. You'd probably have trouble getting them to wear evenly (wear in the middle first).

Yea, that seems a little wide, and I'm an advocate for narrow wheels and tires. I'd try to find an 8 inch wheel.

I dont think they will work. I just put 285/75/16 (33x11.5) MT baja MTZ tire on my 16x7 wheels and Mickey T. say thats the widest tire I can run on 7" wide wheel.

Norcal - What rims and size are you running? What psi? Are you having any troubles with even tread touching or bad wear?
