Got a set of those last night for FREE. My probem is id like to air down. I see a few people running 12.50 on a 10 inch rim but 8 is better. Brand new there almost 500 for 4 so I don't wanna just give them away for some junk cheap 15x8.

Should I go wider than 12.50. Like 13.50? Should I sell them? What would you pay for 4 of them? I was thinking like 300 for 4?

Comments suggestions?

A 12.5 tire will fit nicely on these rims. Throw them on your truck and see how they look and fit. The worst thing that can happen is that you take them off later. A guy I work with had these rims and 31's on his Mazda B4000. Looked really good.

I run 35-12.5 Kevlars at 13 psi on 10s.

I have a heavy rig, and I have never popped a bead off.

My buddy with a B2 runs 31-12.5 boggers on 8s and loses beads left and right at 15 psi.

Yeah.I think they will look great. I was thinking about painting them black with some red. (Have a red theme to my truck) and I'm not a chrome fan.. Not gonna do any rock crawling so not sure ill use single digits. Was gonna take sand paper and rough up the edge to help keep the bead on. The 3.6 back spacing should be fine right?

As long as you guys say it'll be fine ill keep them. Just wasn't sure how much better a different size would be.

Mine are 3.5 BS and They poke just a touch.

I ran 036Speeds 36x14.5 TSLs on 10s last weekend, he has 4.5 BS or so and they poked about the same and cleared everything but rubbed the radius arms pretty good.

Wasn't worried about them sticking out was worried about the radius arm issue. I couldn't remember but I thought the closer to 3 I got the further they would stick out. I was originally gonna order Mickey Thompson classic locks with a 3.3 back space

Are you still TTB?

Any less than 3.75 will eat wheel bearings on a TTB...

Yeah I am. Why does it put so much stress on them? I don't drive it to often. To the trail and to work 3 days a week which is 5 minutes away. Like 10$ in gas a month to go to work.

D28 and D35 TTB wheel bearings are stupid close together and loosen up quickly with the added leverage of an offset wheel.
