13.5" wide tires on 12" wide wheels - Pics Please!
 
I'm thinking of doing cutout flares and want to run Toyo MT's in a 38x13.5" if possible, but I need a 12" wide wheel to get enough offset. The tires are rated for 11" wide wheels, so my fear is on 12" wide wheels it will look too balloon-like. Please post pics if you have 13.5" or 325 wide tires on 12" wheels, over 37" preferred. Thanks!

Nobody has pics?

cartmanea 07-17-2010 02:37 PM

Somebody has to be running this combination...

Is this anything close to what you mean?

cartmanea 07-17-2010 06:35 PM

Thanks, but not really. Those are 38x15.5 tires on 12" wide rims, looking for a 13.5" wide tire.

i'm running 13.5's on 10 inch wide 16's if that helps i think i have pics in my profile.

cartmanea 07-17-2010 08:52 PM

Nope, wanting pics with wider wheels, thanks. My last tires were 12.5" wide on 10" wheels, so have a good idea what that looks like.

Not sure you'd be happy with the way the tires would wear not to mention what a rock would do to the rim.

I searched the web but couldn't find any...

spinella 07-17-2010 09:48 PM

wow!!! thats a first...andrew found no photos of that rim/tire combo.

cartmanea 07-17-2010 10:20 PM

I searched a lot too, that's why I started the thread. Yeah, if the wheel sticks out too much I wouldn't do it, but that's why I want pics to be sure. I saw a set of 37x13.5 tires on 22x14's and it looked retarded, but it made me think a 12" rim wouldn't be that bad.

LOL! It's a unique combination, which may be why I couldn't find it. :-X22

What wheel diameter are you wanting... 18" or 20"?

cartmanea 07-18-2010 11:19 AM

Yeah, either 18 or 20. Probably will end up going 20 since there are more available that size.

Furian 07-18-2010 11:47 AM

Have you looked at BMF wheels?

Yes I have. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I think that you need to go with 14.5" wide tires with the 12" wide wheels...

Yeah, just not finding much in a 14.5" width that isn't overly aggressive. Those pics look about right, but they also added that ugly bead lock to the Cheyenne's which bumps the wheel out another 1/4-1/2" or so, and those were 18s and I'll probably have 20s. About the only 14.5" wide ATs I can find is leftover Pro Comp Xtreme ATs in a 38.5, and I really want to stay away from 15.5" wide if I can.

rickf92592 07-18-2010 10:12 PM

Just curious, is this mostly for looks?
Because looking at your truck it looks set-up like you use it!
Those 20" tires don't have much sidewall if you ever need to air down.
We run 17" but we're chasing Trophy Trucks all over Baja.

cartmanea 07-19-2010 12:30 AM

I know... I would really prefer a smaller wheel, but can't find enough offset in anything less than 20". Still hoping I find a set of 18x12 Weld wheels, but that isn't looking promising. I have found a set of 17" Weld's, but 38s on 17s the tires don't have near the load rating as those with an 18"+ wheel.
