30x11.50x15 on a 15x8 rim

I was checking out the swampers and was wondering if a 30x11.50x15 would fit on a 15x8 rim? Says on the tire chart it is calling for 15x10 but I have a 10.50 on a stock 15x7 rim now. If I went with a 15x10 could I fit them on a stock 4runner with no lift?

Yes you can. when I bought mine, it had 15X10's on it, switched to 15X8 because the tires stuck out way to much for my taste. 11.50 tires should fitan 8 inch rim with no problem.

It will be quite a bit easier to pop a bead w/ a wheel that wide.
If you want to sling the mud, then get a wheel w/ a higher offset.

i wouldn't recommend a 15x10 for anything under a 13.50 tire, more like a 14.50. 15x8 is perfect for 11.50 tires...i have them on my truck(31x11.50R15)

Do you have any side pics or anything other than your profile pic kyle? would like to see what they would look like....was thinking hard on getting the 30x11.50 swamper tsl/sx. i know they howl and i probably wouldn't get the mileage that i would out of a radial but when i get the chance i go out muddy back roads here in virginia and west virginia and when i occasionally hit a nice hole i want to have a little grabbing when i go slamming through it. not worried about noise or wear....i want something to play in!

Ordered 4 31x11.50x15 swamper tsl/sx's and 15x8 mickey thompson classic 2's today and everything will be here monday so I will post pics after they are on. Found out they discontinued the 30x11.50's because it was an odd size and noone was buying much of them so they bumped them up to 31's.
