rim width

[fatcatrog]

I have a 96 Bronco and was wandering if 12" rims would be too much. I don't mud at all and it would just be for looks. I have 35 12.5 on stock rims now which i think are 8.5. I also have a 6" suspension lift. If i lock it all the way down i get a tiny bit of rub but i don't mud so it's not a big deal. I searched the archives but couldn't find anything on 12". Thanks

hey man, here's a pic of my old truck on m/t classic II 15x12's. it had an 8" skyjacker suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift. tires rubbed the radius arms at full lock and if you were off camber they would sometimes slap the rear of the fender well opening, but if you were going straight ahead through a mud bog, they were great.

looks great. i think 12 is going to be too much. what about 10"? anybody have any pics with 10?

green, what size tires were the f150? were they 14.5 wide or 12.5?

Was that on stock runnin gear, or did you swap in a straight axle?

stock ttb.....yes i wheeled it hard and even broke the frame at the steering box, but the dana 44 held up nicely.

fatcatrog, id do some more searching before settling on 10" that extra two inches really changes the look of a tire. while green was running 16" wide tires on 12" rims, running 12.5" wide tires will be totally different. it will be closer to what those 33's look like only the side wall will be a little more "bulged"

i had 12.5 wide wheel and i miss them cuz i bent one and no one could fix it so now i have 15x10 but still looks good just not as good as it did and im running 35x12.50
