I got a cool fathers day pressy, But there on 15x8's flipped. Are these rims wide enough or do i need 10 or 12 inch rims. There not going on till i SOA , but it's be nice to sort it out now so there's one less thing to worry about
Thanks

at least put them on a 10" rim.. 8's are waaay to narrow for a 14.5 wide tyre

i was just searching the general chit chat bible. maybe i shouldda went there first

but i forgot all about it.
Aparrently 8 inch is ok for offroad use on the 37's but not on the 35's. The rims are flipped, But it might pay to find some 10 inch rims just to be safe.
Cheers and dont forget the bible

According to the bible, 8's are ok for 37's, But did that refer to 14.5" wide 37's?? Or 12.5's??

aren't the creepies known for whack crowning in the middle? an 8" rim is only going to make this worse.

Ive never owned a set b4 but they look like they are crowned abit. I hope not to run em on the black top. Ill just tow em with my trailer and swap em over near the trail. It'll be a long time before i can buy another set, so i hope they last me a while.
AS it is there is now a whole in my Jag's engine bay.
