Ok... take a 315/75/16 tire, bascially a 35x12.5x16.

What would be the ideal rim.

Tires are on a diesel truck... aka "the tow rig", so not worried about a bead coming off on the trail.

I'm debating between an 8" and 10".

Right now the tires are on the stock 6.5" wide rims :rolleyes:


Oh, and throw some links/ideas for rims my way too. Not having much luck finding nice ones that aren't bling bling or 80s mulett wearer.

(Yes there's a tow rig section, but no one's reading my post!)

I would go with a 10" wheel, the sidewalls won't be as ballooned and the tread will sit flatter. As for wheels what kind are you looking for, bullethole, black, etc? Try 4wheelparts.com, summitracing.com, and jegs.com

I found these ones.

Thing is finding a 16x8 or 10 8 lug isn't easy! First one is available in 8 lug, that's all I've been able to find.

I have 35X12.5's on 8" rims ... They work fine.. Only had problems once with trash getting into the bead.. But since yours will be a tow rig it will be fine since you wont be airing down...
