Is it safe? What's a good rule of thumb in relation to tire and rim width?

I read somewhere that you generally can do about 1.5" wider and 1.5" slimmer than the rim, regarding tire width.

go with a 10'' wide rim

Well, the tire width is measured at the widest point in the sidewall. So the actually bead width is probably about 2" narrower... I wouldn't recommend it. To be safe, most people have a rim that is at least 2" narrower than the said tire width.

if he was he would of said i have a 8'' lift and i was wondering if i could put a 33x12.5 tire on a 13'' rim

Well, the rims are 15 x 13, all 4 for $40 only!!! I don't want to pass it up!!

you can do it but dont expect to air down while offroading or else tire is destroyed

thats an example

i do not suggest this method at all!!!

Just because is a monetary deal does not mean it is intelligent to buy it. You want a rim at least 2" narrower than your tire IMO as the general ROT.

And it will look STUPID!

Wow. That truck does look dumb...


But, if I bought them, I would probably end up putting 14 to 15" wide tires on. But those are costly and require massive clearance, so I guess I'll let this deal slide. But, If anyone wants them, they are posted on ebay. I'm not sure the item #, but if you type in "MUST SEE RIMS", letter for letter, they will pop up.

To shift gears slightly, a good ROT is 2" slimmer than your tires? I would guess for deflation purposes?

I suggest 3 or 4 inches. The truck above is so stupid.

13 inch rims are for like 17 or 18 inch drag tires....not for our trucks!

But it's a good deal... :cry:

Oh well. Thanks all.

A good deal is a good deal... but is a broken bead and all the hassle of fixing a good deal? MEH..!
