Ordering rims

[68ford]

I think Bowser is confused, here's a pic with 33x12.50 on 10in wide wheels on the axles and 33x12.50 spare on an 8.
The 10in wheels look cartoon balloonish ��

I have 10's on the 66. This is for the 72 and more likely to be off road and is on 8's now. My main concern was backspace so they clear everything when I put em on.

Even 4.5 cleared everything on mine.

Next year I'll have some beadlocks made. Not in the budget this year. Most likely 8 x 17 4.5 BS.

It still baffels me that tire manufacturers suggest a 10in wide wheel for a 12.50 tire. They do not look right. Or like any oem tire on a factory wheel. Now a 12.50 on an 8in wheel looks "normal" to me. I think most 15x8 are 3

really just depends on your tastes right...

That lower tire pressure sure comes in handy too sometimes..

@'bowser: Cartoonish balloon?! C'mon, that's a little harsh!

Both look fine IMHO and I like the fact that they do hold a bead better at low tire pressures.

I would go with the 8" rims as I look the look of the wide tires on a skinny wheels (its the 80's look and I think looks great on the old Broncos)...post up pics when you get it all sone up!!!
