10"_ wide wheels?

Post by Dezertbronco »

So I scored some 33x12.50x15 tires and they came on
Some ultra 10" wide wheels, the offset is a little off I think.
For $150 bucks I couldn't pass them up. They were on a 4wd dodge 1500.
Am I going to hurt wheel bearings? Or anything else?

I have photos on Facebook but can't figure out how to transfer to GFB.

I really wanted 33x10.50s but they are hard to find used.
I'm saving for a set. I'm going to mount them on my 5 spoke alcoas

I've searched forever for the elusive 5 spoke alcoas. This is all I could find.

If anyone has two others or a set this would be a smoking deal to pick up.

I ran 10" wide wheels for awhile and I ended up going back to a 8" . I had some issues with alignment and ball joints but I think the bigger problem was the tire I was running. I agree with Philo stay on top of maint and you should be okay especially if your not running a bias ply tire.
