there is a reason why a steel 8 inch with 3.75 is the most common rim choice for 33x12.5.
if you're gonna air down and hit the trails, you will hold a bead better and longer with an 8 inch rim. if you go 10, you won't be able to air down as far, thus providing a bouncier, rougher ride, which will evidently slow you down, therefor slowing the whole group down so they can wait for your slow azz.
but it is your choice.

yup 8" wide rim all the way. gives the tire a nice look when fully aired up (i dont like the wide rim look personally) and when aired down it holds the bead great!
these are 15x8 with 4" bs

a lot of different opinions please keep them coming. I think aluminum is the way for me to go being its a daily driver,and lighter but not sure about the width yet.Dont want them sticking out too much and I'd like to go with 4" backspacing.Thanks

I personally prefer 15x10s on a 12.50+ wheel It helps out the COG of the vehicle. and that is very important when Driving on the road.

Yes I have read the facts. I had already seen them on Tire Rack. All the tire manufactures recommend larger then 8" wheels because I think the tire keeps it's intended shape. But a lot of these guys that are actually using them seam to go with the 8". I'm using them on road so the 10s are probably better.
