So I'm going to order some Iroks soon for the Yoter Buggy.
Looking at some 37x14.00-15. Now the rims I've got are 8" I believe, I'll check in the AM.

Will this cause any issues or should I just run em?
Also is 14" too wide of a tire?

It depends on the terrian your wheeling in, Wide tires tend to balloon in mud and cause the tires just to spin and not grip. If its gonna be in the snow youll have the same problem, the narrower tires will drop into the snow and be able to grab solid ground.

I'm getting more into rocks and crap now a days. A lil mud but I try to avoid it.

i think you may need a 10" wide wheel , im running 12.5" tires on 7" wheels and its not a big deal , i can air them down to about 5 to 8 psi with ease

My 13.5" wide tires are mounted on 15x8's (I'm pretty sure) and I'm not having any problems with them.

They suck on snow/wet pavement but for rocks and dirt I can't get them to slip. I ran moab on 33PSI for 5 straight trails and didn't chirp a tire once (unlocked F/R)

The rims are 9" wide.

i a 9" wheel would work but a 10" would be ideal

Yea well I'm not dropping more money on new rims so these will work.

Yeah a 10" would be the best to run on a 14" wide tire i agree with adam99wj
