What size tire to you plan? I had some 15x12 Bart's with 35 14 Ground Hawgs, and the wheel was too wide and heavy in my opinion. I ran 10" Centerlines on my 35 14.5 Mickey's, and that was a good fit. I have 36 12.5 16.5 on 9.75 wide rim now which is a good size for 12.5 width also.

Mike has the million dollar question....What tire size are you planning on running? With my tires being 19.5 wide I couldn't go with anything less than a 12 inch wide rim, and can't find anything but steel wheels in 12" inches wide and 8 lugs.

I typo'd my first post, those Boggers are 39.5 x 19.5.

I am looking into running a 33 12.50 R 18 should be pretty square fit. Any thoughts

I would go with 10" wheels for a 33 12.50 that way the bead won't look bulged. I have 37 12.50 on 10" wheel and it looks square. I would take a pic for you but it's raining out, good ole W WA State.

Sorry ColoradoK5...I'm of no help...just had to say that in deep's ride looks raw!

I did do a few google searches, and the Nitto tires in that size say the rim should be 8.5-11 inches.

I'd have to agree with the above posts, a 12.5" tire on a 12" rim will look wide at the bead. Give a fat in the middle look. The 19.5 on the 12's I have might be a bit narrow at teh bead, but that's the way I bought it. I'd go a bit wider next time but have other priorities right now.

JMHO...12.5" tires look goofy on 12" rims. Need at least 14.5" wide tires for that rim.

That looks good what size of lift do u have and it looks like it still fits in the garage. I'm thinking of a lift kit and running 35s now, but still want to park in the garage any info on size and brand? Thanks

The lift is a Tuff Country EZ ride front springs, with ORD greasable Heavy Duty Front Shackles. The rear is a 4" block with an add a leaf. I also have a 3" body lift. It still fits in the garage no problem.
