I was running 15x10s all around but drivers front wheel flew off last Friday while I was out in the woods. Turns out the holes are all wallowed(sp?) out and oval shaped. Only the fronts though. Got 2 15x8s laying around, want to use 'em temporarily. Pull the tires off those and the boggers off the 10s and get the outside edge through the tire and trying to pull the bead over the inside of the rim, what a PITA. I mounted them on the 10" rims myself and it was tough but not near this bad. I got all but about the last 10 inches over and it wouldn't go anymore. Any tips?? Am I gonna have any problems running the 18" wide boggers on these??.......if I ever get them mounted :rolleyes::D

why not pay the 20 bucks to have the 2 mounted?
i think you will have more of a problem of running to different size rims due to it effecting tire diameter

For 1 I don't really have $20.......sad I know:rolleyes: and 2 the only place I know of that mounted anything above 35s shut down a few months ago.
As far as tire diameter I think I can keep it equal by running a little more air in the rear tires.

The boys in Rapid city run everything on 8" wheels. They call them Black Hills Beadlocks. Go find two more. You should be able to trade the 10's straight across.

Warm those babies up, heat lamp, heaters, etc., lots of liquid soap, and a couple of extra hands attached to strong arms.

Got the bogs mounted up front. Palmolive is the shit:D.......
Anyways, as far as diameter/circumference difference between front/rear, what is the min/max variation that is safe between the 2.
It was wierd cause with about 5lbs in the back and about 20 in the front all 4 measured about 37" (they're bald :D). I figured that with 10" rims in the rear and 8"s up front that I would need more air in the rear. :confused:
