He said wheel width is 8.25.... will my 37x12.5x16.5
Fit safely on the rim? I get lost in wheel fitment topics.


Check out this 8 lug Chevrolet or Ford 16.5” Steelies with 33” Brute Tires for $500 on OfferUp.

12.50s fit on 8.25 wheels just fine.

The bent wheel is repairable as long as its focused only there and the rest of the wheel is still true.
 
I see at least 2 bad spots and didn't look at them for more than 30 seconds, how much are those wheels new? only 6.25 " wide aren't most 37 " like 14.5 " wide that be hard fit. I put hummer tires on 10" wheels tire had to blow them up with and air blast can to get them to bead.
 
Yeah I zoomed in a see few more dings that what is stated.
My tires are 37x12.5x16.5... ill keep looking...:waytogo:
 
This should work? What is “bolt circle”
The only difference here is the wheel width.. is it worth $10 more a wheel for 9.75 as opposed to 8.25 width.

Functionality wise I think the 8.25" wide wheels are much better for a 12.5" wide tire. I would only get the 9.75" wheels for cosmetic reasons (i.e. if you like the deep dish look). I've personally ran 15.5" wide tires on 8" wide rims on my rig for probably 15 years now, and so have several other guys in our club. The tires hold the bead much better on the narrower rims.
