Default New Wheels with Stock Rubi Tires

Yes, I would really like larger but for now am happy with the stock
tires on my Rubi. If I purchase after market wheels (AEV Pintlers), What
width would accomodate the stock tires yet allow for up to 12.5 width
in the future.

Thanks!

An eight inch wide wheel should work for both the stock and later tires.
You have good taste with the AEV wheel quest. Back spacing is also important when considering new wheels with larger tires. 5 inches or less will work for the 12.5

No argument here...You are right sir a 9 in would work as well. I like the bead to push tight so I can keep the bead on and air down a little more if I want. Either one will work fine.

If 8 or 9 will work, I am thinking for the stock rubi tire that
the 8 would make more sense.

I have had my eye on the AEV wheels for some time now. I like the rugged and traditional look.

Thanks for the feedback.
