Re: Need to buy wheels???
Just to sum up, would you say that 10" rims are best with the 31x10.5"
tires so long as the tires have a "sidebiter"-type tread to give sidewall
protection? I'm probably a little ignorant on this one but I just envision
the sidewall being more exposed with the 10". I'm not disagreeing with you
at all. I'm just looking at my 33x12.5" on my narrower rims and wondering
what it'd look like.

Your question reminds me I originally used what I had, in '68 760 X
15 on ten inch welded reverse rims, so a lot of traction came from the
side walls, pictured hooked to the trailer:

Re: Need to buy wheels???
I just had a set mounted on my Jeep last week. So far so good. I got
the 8" wheels. Would the 10" wheels add unecessary additional weight
considering the main use of the vehicle is a daily driver? One of the
reasons I bought the MT's over cheaper AR-767's was because they were
lighter. Take a look, let me know if you have trouble with the link.:
