Re: tires on factory wheel

It depends on what factory wheel you have. An 8 inch wheel will handle any 12.5" wide tire (33s or 35s) no problem. The more common narrower wheels are limited to smaller stuff.

Re: tires on factory wheel

I wouldn`t recommend it.There would be a crown in the tread.Are you looking to go narrower or just mount wide tires on stock rims?I`d get away from stock rims if you want to stay wide.I`d say 10.50 is as far as I`d stretch it.They`re beefier than stock.If you want 12.50s you should look for some 8-10" rims.
