You guys have no issues with the stock wheels? Obviously you are running them, but most 12.5's call for at least an 8.5" wheel. No worries/regrets?

absolutely no issues

ive always ran tires on narrower then recommended wheels
hold a bead well and less damage to the wheels when in rocks

just have to run the tires at a lower psi

I see, thanks for the insight. Do you air up to a certain percentage less than normal, or just a certain psi or?

depending on the tire, you air down until you get the correct amount of contact from the tread on the ground

No issues with wheel and tire, but I had to go with 1" wheel spacers. I'm running
Toyo 33x12.5x18s on stock 18s. Front rubbed at full lock both ways.

Spacers pushed everything out 1" (obviously)

Is it more common to use a 1" or 1.5"? I don't mind them sticking out a little more than yours do, and would rather them not rub at all.

1" did the trick, no rubbing. I went with the Terraflex 1" steel spacers apposed to the
aluminum ones, steel just seem like a better choice to me. Allot of people run the 1.5" aluminum with no issues.

good luck.
