i am currently running a 35x14.50 on a 15x8 rim im getting some boggers that are 35x16 and was wondering if my 8's will still work or do i need to get some bigger wheels like a 10 or 12 the tires are on a light rig a zuk that weighs in around 2000lbs.. your help is appreciated...

I would think if yor run anything less then a 10" width rim with a 16.5 wide tire, you'll blow the bead....and often.

I'm surprised that didn't happen even with your 14.5 wide tire on an 8" rim.

kinda what i thought...

If i we're putting 16" wide tires on my Zuk, I would run a 10" wheel also. The 8" would make the tire "baloon" too much.

i got on the interco site the tires are actually on 13.5 wide still think i need 10's????

I thought guys hear stuff the tires on the narrowest rim they can. Most don't use 16.5's unless with a H1 double beadlock.
