33x10.5 or 12.5???

[dmasini]

Hey guys quick question. I'm in the market for some 33's and found some in the for sale thread with the rims I was looking at. They're the BFG 33x10.5 with creager rims. They look aweful skinny on the guys X though and I'm trying to decide if maybe a little more width would be better for mine? So should I go with the 10.5 with my setup (TT, 3" BL and shackles) or should I go with the 12.5 width?

you need the 12.50. you can run a 33x10.50 with just TT and shackles with minimal rubbing

I'd run 12.5. 10.5 are harder to find in 33s or larger.

Cool, thanks guys. That's what I was thinking as well. I just needed the second opinions. The 10.5's just looked too skinny... Dumb question but I wouldn't be able to fit the 12.5's on the 10.5 rims from this post would I?

12.5s will fit on anything from a 7" rim to a 12" rim, but you will get the best wear out of either a 8" or 10" rim.

run an 8 inch rim...it wont stick out as far as it would with a 10. Also if you ever wheel it, you wont rock rash your rims as much.
