yer have thought about it but if i cant get a good deal on the boggers they are to expensive brand new, but yer boggers are an option, would the same rim size be ok for boggers aswell?

not interested in buying tyres yet, only rims, but hopefully they will still be there whn i get enough money, honey.
also what about offset, do i need to worry if i have spacers on the front?

you will need to run a 10" rim,
the minimum rim size for a 12.5" is 8.5" so if you are going wider than that you are going to have to go you to a 10" rim

cause if what he is saying is correct then the next size up from 16x8 is 16x10. More opions would be nice peoples

Im running 35/13.5-16 on 16x8 rims with no worries. The claws only measure 12.5 anyway.

I'm running 37x13.5x15 Boggers on 15x8 rims without any major problems. I have glued the beads on though. The smaller rim just means that you have less sidewall exposed and there is more pressure holding the beads onto the rim. IMHO
