12.5inch tyres on a 8inch rim

Post by GQ4.8coilcab »

im already running 35x10.5 simex on my beadlocked 8s and i want to go to 36x12.5s or even trepadores but im worried that the 8inch rims will be two small. Any body running 12.5s on an 8inch rim?

Looking at the Fourby's site they recommend 8.5"-11" rim for the 36x12.5x16" ET2
This would probably come from the tyre manufacturer recommendations.

It's illegal to run a smaller rim width than the tyre manufactures specifies.
Of course if your running larger than legal tyres it's a bit of a mute point.
