I'm thinking of selling my 14.5x38.5x15 Sxs ,on steel 10x15, 8-lugs and getting some 38x13x16 TSLs on either 16x8, or 16x10 aluminum 8-lug 589s,(see question below), reason is due to a Dana 44 up front, (possible a little less weight will = longer axle life?) ,and my Toyota 3.0 V-6,, is now like a worn out carbed 4 cyl in the power dept.!!, and I think I will loose some weight with the alum rims/narrower tires,, not to mention possibly a better balanced tire,(daily driver,for now),, my question is;I know the 16" wheel also has a safety bead,and I dont think they make a 15" 8-lug alum. wheel?,.. will a 8" wide wheel hold the bead better with the 13" wide tire at low pressue than a 10" wide will ?..
I had 14.5 SSRs on 10"wide 589s and never lost a bead at 8psi,, but I have never owned a narrower wheel,,,,,,,,, Thanks in advance!!
