Spare wheels

[TJ1978]

I know this is considered by some a dead tire size. But if one's wants to go super swamper or have some back up wheels for $200 what do you guys think?

Probably not worth it at all but the wheels look cool.

8.25wide rims and 35x12.50 = sucked in sidewalls . look funny in my book . i always prefer 2" wider sidewall to rim width look .

Usually run a 4” or so offset Offroad. Helps keep the tire on the bead

never had problem with 25psi and 12.50 on 10" rim 16.5 combo . hard mud and snow wheeling . . but yes the more narrow the rim the better for cheep man bead locks .

On the slick rock it’s not uncommon to run 10-15 psi. Sucking that rim in does work well for that

 

[Wes Harden]

yeah 25 psi is full aired up. I run 10-12 in the manx type. When I lost the tire on my kids truck Idk what the air pressure was at the time but I am thinking in the mid 20's, had a slow leak. 37 12.50r 16.5 on 10" wide rims. whole tire diapered. If had been on an 8-8.5 might have stayed on the rim.

Check dot dates them tires can be old and hard from age . I wouldnt run them much in off road mud . Good look and highway tire .

I've owned Super Swamper TSL's and in my humble opinion they suck! YMMV.

That’s what I paid new in 2005 for same rim from keystone. So if they fit your style they are good rims. I have 35x12.5 on them and have not ever had an issue.
