I just gone asking the same question a few months ago..everyone said 8" rim because after you put beadlock on it it becomes a 9" rim...and if you did a 10" it would be a 11" rim way to wide for a 12.50...I bought a set that were 7" rims so it made it 8" for my 38x12.50 and works great.

8" all the way

For A 12.5 I would use a 7 if you haven't bought rims yet.

Yup those sx's will be happier on a true 8" wheel.

Just make sure the backspace is standard offset (should be 3.5" or so)...:awesomework:

8" rim is best for that range.

Your in Bellevue right? I am going to be welding some anti-coning rings on my beadlocks. We should have a welding party. I am just up the road in Bothell.
