Re: Tires to fit 12 inch wide rims
Ideally the width of the tread, should be the same as the width of the rim. For a 12" wide wheel, you'll probably need a 14.50 to look right.

Re: Tires to fit 12 inch wide rims
The problem is finding a truck that wil fit the rims.These days a 10" wheel is considered a wide option for 12.50s with 8" more common.I ran 14.50s for years on 10" wheels and never felt a need for wider.12" is for huge tires like 40s and bigger.

Re: Tires to fit 12 inch wide rims
They will fit. But, i think you should get around 14.50 wide tires.
Here is some 33/12.5/15's on 12in wide wheels.   On my sx's that are 35/15.50/15's on a 12in wheel look great to me, and have a wide contact patch. As shown.
