BFG M/Ts
Not sure what to put on my CJ. I'll have 10 inch wheels with a good amount
of backspacing...like 4.5-5. Am I going to have any rubbing or any other
issues by going to the 12.5?
Thanks!

I think the general consensus is that 15x8 or 15x10 wheels will work
fine for 33x12.5 tires. I recently just bought 33x10.5x15 BFG AT
tires with 15x8 wheels. If you get the 33x10.5 tires, you will need
to get 15x8 wheels instead of the 15x10. Another thing you need to be
concerned about with the 33x12.5 tires is that they will stick out
much farther than the 33x10.5 tires, possibly giving your Jeep that
classic rollerskate look if not done right.

in addition to making a lifted jeep more stable, i think the wider track
looks better too.

I don't think you're going to have much luck with the 33x10.5's on a
10 inch wheel, so go with the 33x12.5 I guess. BFG lists a rim width
of 7 to 9 for 33x10.5's.
