help deciding wheel width
Hey everyone, I just purchased a set of used 37x12.50x15 Trxus tires. I am torn between putting them on an 8 or 10 inch wide wheel. My rig sees more road use than offroad, but when offroad its used pretty hard and I do like to air down. Just wondering what you all may have for an opinion. As well as any reccomendation on 15" wheels to fit...Im looking for an alloy

if you like to air down a lot then the narrower the better so 8. it will help keep your bead seated longer. as for a 15" wheel i don't know to small for me. also might want to think about bs too.

I was looking more for peoples experience with jk's on wide tires with the two different wheel widths. I have owned a ton of jeeps (only 2 JK's) I know on the older yj's I ran with 35"+ tires that I preferred the onroad handling with a wider wheel.
