you should post this in tech if you want serious responses.



i wouldn't think it would be ok to mount it on such a small rim.
indubitably

Mickey Thompson recommends rims from 10" to 12" for that size tyre. Might be a little ambitious on an 8" rim as the sidewalls will have little stability pulled in that far.

So they'll bag nicely off-road, but you'd be asking for trouble on-road.

Fitting those tyres onto a 8inch rim. Its not a good idea, tyre manufactures supply rim sizs to run with there tyres because that is the safest option. It will be best to stay in there guide lines.

Old sock, You should pick up some 8" and swap Beadbreaker Bob for his 10" jobs as they're too wide for his tyres.

Hey Petri
Are you trying to get the tyres back inside the arches?
What, haven't you ever done lines of International Roast off a hookers back with $100 notes?
