Hi guys,
I've got 2 of 33x10.5x15 bfg muds and also 2 of 33x12.5x15 muds and was wondering if there would be any reason why i shouldn't run with the 10.5's on the front and the 12.5's on the back??
(would be running them all on 8" rims

Cos you'll look like a 70's hoon in a rusty old XB hardtop!

The only problem will be bead retention on the front when you lower your tyre pressures. Fit then on 7 inch rims and you won't have any problem.

What size spare would you carry?

so you'd put 7" rims on front and they'd be ok to run in conjuction with the 12.5" tyres on 8" rims on back?
will have 12.5" spares x2 (crappy tread)

You only need 7s if you air down, if you don't you can run 8s. I can't see any problem with running 10.5 up front and 12.5 at the rear.

I'd prefer to run matching rims all round (8's) but not if this means i can't drop pressure's for bech etc

You dont want 10.5's on an 8. You will lose the bead. Sell 2 and buy 2 matching of the other

get everything matching. . . . i feel bad having a 35x12.5-15 mtz spare to not matching my 35x12.5-15 bfg muddies.

job done

Hi all,

Fitted all tyres on my 7" rims and all is good.

Not sure what the fuss is about 8" rims ... the 12.5" tyres don't seem to bubble too much at all.
