Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all, Ive got a 60s which currently has worn 31s on 15x7 rims. Ive got a spare set of 15x8 rims under the house. My question is, which size rim is better for off raoding? Am going to get 33s either way, and I do a mixture of rock, dirt, mud etc...

Does rim size matter?

Thanks

If you are intending to run 33x12.50R15's later on, go with the 15x8.

Cheers,
Ryano

Yep, you need 8's to run a 12.5.

I prefer 10.5's on a 7 (or actually a 6.5) but 99% of 33's are 12.5 wide.

Didn't BFG release a 33 X 10.5?

yup.

Yep.. but try and find a set. There are also some 33 10.5 simexes etc, but when most people think 33, they are thinking 12.5.

BFG used to do a 33 9.5 a well, a really excellent size, but that was discontinued when they went to the KM style, replaced by the 33 10.5.

Actually, the minimum recommended rim width for a 12.5 is 8.5" but try and find a set of them too!

here's a pic of 33x10.5 bfg's on 15x8 rims...

these worked well for me as i didn't want to do a body lift, will probably get 12.5's next time though, as they dig pretty badly in the soft stuff..
