the smaller rim will keep the tire from losing a bead with low air pressure as well

I run 31/12.5/16 Boggers on stock Toyota steel wheels! They work great!

Woah, guys, this thread is from '08. Haha. Nice diggin.

The narrower rim creates more outward pressure on the tire where it mounts to the rim, making it sigh tighter against the rim, harder to knock off.

my rule of thum is 2 sizes up so i would be runing a 10 in wide wheel but i know a lot of ppl who run 8in wheels it just bows the side walls out and can were the center of the tire out first
