Someone that's "been there and done that", please tell me what I would experience if I ran a 35" X 15" BFG Mud Terrain tires on 7" wide wheels? FJ-40 is used for Dusy and Rubicon type trails and driven to the trail heads.

Fman said:With 12.5" tire, you should run at least an 8" wide rim, 10" is even better.... most reputable tire stores will not sell a 7" wide rim with a 12.50" tire because of safety reasons. With a 7" rim you will probably pop a bead on the trail, and you would even gain more stability on the highway if you were running a 10" wide rim.

A 12.50 on a 10" wide rim has little tire bulge between the tread and the rim which leaves the rim more vulnerable to rock/root/etc. damage than narrower rims– especially at low air pressures. 10" rims would give a bit better street handling, but at the sacrifice of off-road rim protection.
