Will 33x12.5 fit an 8" wide rim?

[rmurray]

I have 33X12.50s on my 15X10 rims now, but I found some nice 15X8 rims that I'd like to swap. Will the tires fit? I think its a stretch. Thanks!

[Black & Tan TJ]

Yes they will fit.

I run 33X12.5 Xterrains on 15X8's and I've never had a problem with them!

[rmurray]

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Nice Jeep btw.

I have the 15x8 inch rims also on 33x12.50 mud tires no problem in two years I,ve been told that it,s perferred over the 10 inch rim...so I went with the 8..

[Old Fart]

They're actually much harder to debead on 15x8

[avjeepfreek]

Yep

They're actually much harder to debead on 15x8

Thats what I've heard too! I have a friend that had
33X12.5's in 15X10's and he busted the bead several times out on the trail! He's now switched to 15X8's too!

Roy,

1 year with MTZ 33" x 12.5" on 8" Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels (Fake Beadlock). Never a problem, check the rear tire in the picture, with 11 lbs air.
