So, So, Sorry But This Is Another Tyre Question!

[Scorpion]

I have just seen new 33x12.5x15's advertised on 8" rims. Is this okay? I thought the rims would have had to be 10s or 12s.

Won't the tyre bulge right out on 8" rims and wouldn't they be more prone to coming away from the rims when off roading?

If it's feasable could I put 33's on the rims that my 31's are on? (I will look tomorrow to see if there is any size stamped on my current wheels as it's pitch black at the minute).

Once again sorry for the 'numpty' question but I'm looking at all the options now.

They will fit OK on 8" rims as long as they're not aired down for off-roading.
Theres a few members on here that have done it, can't remember who though.
It's better to fit then to 10" wide rims.

Won't the tyre bulge right out on 8" rims only a bitand wouldn't they be more prone to coming away from the rims when off roading?no

If it's feasable could I put 33's on the rims that my 31's are on? as long as they are at least 8" inches wide(I will look tomorrow to see if there is any size stamped on my current wheels as it's pitch black at the minute).

Once again sorry for the 'numpty' question s'ok wereused to it but I'm looking at all the options now.

You ask as many numpty questions as you like mate, they might answer some i have, i got a headache this morning looking at tyres and still dont know, those tyre sizes leave me bewildered, i had stickers on the inside of my rims which had the rim size on em, i'm sure they were 10x15 but may have been 8x15, i'll look em out and hopefully post and get the difinative answer,

Cheers guys! I live in hope that my rims are 10's (but I may chance 8's if I haven't got my wheels and tyres by mid November)!

Oooooooooooo, I'm so impatient!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RodLeach]

Anyluck with Keef?!

I doubt yours are 10" mate from what i've seen.

8" are absolutly fine! Dont worry about running them on 8's. I'd be bl**dy shocked if anything happened.

Boyo ran 12.50's on a set of 7" wide rims an as far as im aware they never popped a bead .

[RodLeach]

Popeye if yours aint 10" wide i'd be shocked!!

There huge.

post a pic up of the wheel and tyre! Should be able to tell from that.

Any help Rod, as i said i'll check the stickers tomorrow and let you know, pretty sure they were ten tho

Knew I'd seen twin pipes somewhere

My dear Watson, Listen up. That wheel spacer has holes with a PCD of 137mm. That means its got an o.d of not much over 150mm or 6". I therefore deduce that the tile its sitting on is a standard 12" tile. Looking at the wheel against the tile I,d have to say that, provided no trick photography has taken place, that My dear Watson is a 10" wheel. Its elementary.

Dammit, theres those wheels again!!



Ian, just looking at your hood scoop and bug deflector on the bonnet, It looks as though the intercooler is not getting the full force of air 'cos it's being deflected over it.


Just a thought.

Ian, if those aren't 10" rims I'll eat hay with a horse!

Elementry my dear Bogus except the "tile" is a patio slab (bout 18" i fink) but yes i'm sure their 10" rims,

Vince! ti dont go fast enough to cause air flow

BD, could'nt dissapoint you

Bibs! yup twin pipes but nowt on either end (yet)

Rod, i'll get the stickers and check but yup they look like 10"

Keef knows I'm interested Rod and has told me he will let me know when they come up for sale in mid November. I'm just exploring all the options mate in case things don't work out.
