As the title says, getting some 36" centerpedes and not sure weather to put them on a 15x10 or a 15x8 with a reverse offset on a GQ.
Any input would be appreciated witch size rims works better with these tyres.
Cheers.

haven't tried them on 10s but had some on some 15x8's and they were great, had simex tubes also, ran around 5psi ok.
Only thing i found was that the rims turned a fraction in the tyres - not much or it would have buggered the tubes, but just enough to put the valve stems on a slight angle, could be wrong but i'd assume this would be more likely on 10 inch rims - unless beadlocked.

G'day mate.
Put them on 8" rims, if you have them.
I run mine on 8s and never had a problem, a mate ran them on 10's and had a few issuse with the tyres comming off at lower pressuer

run them on 8s dude. less likely to get dirt in the bead of the rim as the tyre is the opposite of stretch haha could go some sweet offset 9 inch wheels if you want it to look good.

i have ran mine on 8's and 10's tyres spreads out much further (wider) on 10's but you need bead locks if you run them on 10's..

I run my 36x12.5x15 centipedes down to 11 psi on 8 inch rims tubeless. Never popped one off a bead yet and I do some pretty gnarli off roading.

Don't run them on 10's unless u like reseating lots of beads in the bush

X eleventy.
if you were to get 8's and then decide to beadlock them (the weld on type where your tyre sits essentially outside the actual rim) they are then pretty much a 9in wide rim so you get the best of both worlds. i found i struggled to fit in some ruts with my GQ and GU with the 15x10in -21 offset rims.

Mine have worked well on 15x10 beadlocks. Never had to rebead the inners.
A beadlocked 8" to make a 9" rim would be ideal.
Stu at Enduro Offroad should be able to help you with a set.
