Default those running 10" wide rims
Any disadvantages/advantages to running a rim this wide? I'm reading they may have trouble holding a bead when aired down. I'm sure you would get a much wider appearance to the tire which I like. I am considering the setup, 16x10" rim, 37x12.5 or 13.5" tire. Thanks in advance

I cant vouch for the 12.50 but I havent noticed any issues with holding a bead. I run 35x13.50 Claws. If your runnng a 12.50 I would prob go witha thinner rim but my setup (IMO) is great! Im running 16x10 ProComp's

I've been running them since I installed my lift last year without any problems with 35x12.5 tires. If you found some you like, go for it.

No problems here, aired down to 10 psi. I'm sure you can go lower, I just haven't needed to.
