How would a 6" wide rim act on 12.5" wide tire? Ballon? Blow beads? Tell me please!

I have ran a 12.5 on a 7" rim, and currently run a 16.5 wide on a 8.25" rim...

im running stock chevy 16.5x6.5 wheels with a weld on beadlock kit..with 42x14 iroks...and they are more rounded profile on the skinnier wheel when aired up,but at 5-8 psi they work great!

You know a guy who ran 36x13.5x15s Iroks on 7" wide wheels for 3-4 years and ran 39.5x13.5x15s Iroks on 7" wide wheels for a season.......... I dont recall him having any troubles....
Edit: I'd personally not go to a 6" rim though...that seems a bit excessive....

Hi All:
The tire shop will tell you that a 12.5 inch wide tire should go on a 8.5 to 10.5 inch wide wheel. From my personal experience a 7 to 8 inch wide wheel works just fine; a more narrow rim helps to hold the tire bead better while aired-down.
Now, for example a 10.5 inch wide tire should not be used on a rim wider than 6 or 7 inches.
Regards,
Alan

How would a 6" rim on a 12.5" tire be different than a 7" rim on 14" wide tires? What makes it "bad"?

Why not?
a 12.5" wide tire on a 6" wide wheel means that the wheel is 48% as wide as the wheel...
With my 16.5" wide PBR's on a 8.25" H1 the wheel is 50% as wide as the wheel...
same **** different day... works just fine.

Any sidewall issues? Like mass sidewall flex or anything?
Generaly the wider the tire the taller the tire. Meaning more side wall to flex when squeezed on to a narrow wheel.
Im running 19.5 wide boggers on 10'' wheels. No problems yet. They ballon some when you fill the tires to proper street air presure. But i use them offroad only N they stay between 4-10 psi.:awesomework:
