I was wondering if a 14 inch wide tire will fit on a 8 inch wide wheel. I know 10 inch wheels are usually used, but next time i buy tires they will all be 12.5 instead of the 2 12.5's and 2 14's i have now. I am also planning on doing a DIY beadlock kit, which will widen the wheels to 9 inches, but that will be a while down the road. Thanks in advance.
Yes they will fit. They will be slightly taller & narower than on a 10 to 12 inch wheel, but for offroad the narrow wheel will keep the bead on alot better. One of our club-members runs his 38x14.5 on an 8 inch wheel at as low as 4psi & has never poped a bead.
Thanks for the info jfab. What about onroad, will this combination be safe? If im correct, ill have to run a bit lower tire pressure to keep all the tread on the road, but besides that is there any adverse effects?
