35x10.5 simex rim size

Post by pozman »

Just bought some 35x10.5 15 et simex's. What width rims should I run with these. 7" or 8"?

Was going to go 8s but a mate made mention of thee bad beads and that maybe 7s would be better

Thanks for you help. Paul

They are actually recommended for 8.5"...

8 is the best for these tyres but.

To me, the key is width.

10.5" in metric terms is 265.

I'm a little out of touch with current models, but 10 years ago 265 tyres were coming as OE fitment on 7" rims.

I'd be happy to run 10.5s on 7" or 8" rims - but 8" rims give you more options to go wider, if you feel you need to.
