As with most things, there's some debate here. The things I hear the most are: Some people prefer 8" rims because they claim that the bead is more likely to remain on the rim at low pressure. Others prefer a 10" rim because they think the tire retains a better shape, keeping more tread in contact with the ground. nagal 05-01-05, 06:45 PM listen to everything everyone has to say then go with what you think makes the most sense. If you still can not decide, flip a coin. The 8" vs 10" rim is another one of those great debates. If it helps, I run 15x8 but when I go to 35s will probably go with 16x10. 4x4garage 05-01-05, 07:34 PM listen to everything everyone has to say then go with what you think makes the most sense.

SodyClack 05-01-05, 07:47 PM Thanks, i think iam goin with 10 . Dukes69 05-02-05, 02:22 PM Well put indeed, but I dont know anyone that runs 10" wheels. I run 15x8's on 33x12.5's I will run the same with my 35's :D Old Fart 05-02-05, 02:28 PM Ran my 33x12.50's on 8" rims - always. Running my 35x12.50's on 8" rims. A LOT harder to debead, period. Desert racers regularly run 33x12.50's on 7" rims, for just that reason. IF I ever decide to run beadlocks, I might go up in rim width, as it (as stated above) alows a flatter profile across the tread. Real world - I don't drive the YJ to work (110 mile round trip commute is much more fun in the Boxster) - so I run 28 psi on the way to/from thr trails, and live with the slightly faster wear.
