i am going to order some 36/13.5r15 irocks. but i saw that sasquatch ryda was running a set of 36/12.5r15 on some 15x8s. i was sure i had to run 15x10s. has anyone ran 13.5 width on a 15x8? i may just have to run 12.5 width but i wanted to see my options first.

Ive seen guys run 12.5" wide tires on 7" rims, so i guess you could. Might pull the sidewalks in all wierd.
Probably really hard to blow a sidewall haha

The 15x8's will give you less of a chance to knock the bead off when your off road, but the center tread is going to wear unless you deflate them some. Then it gets a little harder to handle and your mpg is going to go down. Go with the 15x10's if your going to be on the street all the time.
