Default Wheel/tire question
I didn't know where else to post this but, will a 33x10.5R15 fit on a 15x8 wheel? Would I have issues airing down?

I'm looking at these tires:

it will work.

Generally 2-3 inches less is ok.

why 10.5 wide tires?

people usually get 12.5 wide.

If possible go for 12.5 wide it will give more contact surface and will make your jeep look right too.

Meh, I honeslty dont think i'll need something that wide. Plus, I wasnt sure about how wide of a tire I could fit on a 8" wide wheel and i'm not sure about how much sidewall bulge it would have.


And Toad, I dont think it really matters. I was reading late last night and I saw people running 12.5" wide tires. The real issue i'm thinking is the rubbing at full stuff.
