ok new tire choices for mud season either 36X12.5 TSL or 37X13 boggers?? the reason im asking is that i have 33X12.5 BFG muds right now on blk 15X10 rims, i like the stance, but they stick out too far to be legal. so my deciding factor is gonna be based on your thoughts, can i fit 13" wide tire on an 8" wide rim, or is that too much?? i know some run 12.5" wide tires on an 8" rim, any problems doing this? or should i just keep my 33's and mount them on an 8" rim for inspection?? this is my daily driver as well. all comments welcome i dont want to ruin a set of big tires on narrow rims if thats what happens~!! THANKS!

You should not have any problems with a 13" tire on a 8" rim but if I were you I would just do like you said and put an 8" rim on the 33s for inspection. Somewhere it should tell you recommended wheel widths for that tire.

Get in touch with the boys over on TTORA-NE. There is probably someone out your dirrection with an extra set of 31s that you can toss on for inspection. then put the biggens back on after you get your sticker. It's what i do, gets me by every Feb http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

yeah ive tried to find out when the new meet and greets are, but i cant get the calender to show up, and i emailed Aaron, and got no response, i want to join, but its kinda hard not being able to see the dates, must be a glitch in the site. oh well, yeah thats a good idea though, i sold my stock rims and tires last summer. im starting to lean towards the swamper boggers, on a 15X10 rim... a little more thinking to do beofre i buy them, but ill def post some pics!!
