Is it SAFE to place a 33x12.5" mud terrain on a 8" wide rim? I would usually run a 10" wide rim for these tires but I already have 8" wide ones sitting at my house. Whats your thoughts. Im leaning towards no, but I have seen some poeple do it. Thanks, Mike

Running that width tire on an 8" wide rim is a GOOD idea and holds a bead better than a 10" wide rim offroad. Im not the only one who is gonna say an 8" rim is fine for that tire.

The only benefit of a 10" side wim with those tires is it sticks your tires out a little further and gives you maybe a little more stability in a off camber climbing situation!
Go with the 8" Thats what I run, and I air down to about 10 psi with out bead locks! and have never blown a bead!

Same here. I run the 8" wide rims with my 33x12.5" BFG AT's.
Only other benefit to running a 10" wide rim would be a wider footprint, and better tire-wear (the 8's squeeze the sidewalls tighter, making it balloon up in the middle).
