I have 32x11.5x15 fronts and 33x12.5x15 rears, all mounted on 8" wide American Racing wheels - my tires are fine as long as I slow down before taking a sharp corner, you having much bigger tires with the same width should be alright too. But yes, yer friend is right, ideally you want to have these tires mounted on 10" wide wheels.
