Rim size ?

[Rubi Rick]

I'm ready to order 33X12.5X15 MTR's.  I'm not sure what size rim to order? :thinking:  I know I need 15" rim with 3.75 BS but not sure if I need 15X8 or 15X10's?  Any thoughts???  Thanks again guys...

i have the 8" but the tire shop will tell you  to get the 10" .  i was told to get the 8"  for  a 12.5  because the stay on better. on the trail i run 10 to 12 psi  and have not lost a bead (i wheel like a girl :mad02 and my tires have worn well for mt's  that get lots of street time

Definitely 8 inch rims with 3.75inch Backspaceing. :wink:

Rick - Stick with 8" rims and 3- 3/4 back space (Earl - this is what you want on your Rubi too).  Less chance of popping a bead with aired down 33x12.50's

BTW - missed ya at the M&G...
