    Anyone run a 12" rim?

    I'm thinking about getting 12" welds for my 325/50/15 BFG's instead of a 10". Anyone running them?

    Yeah, its cut out now, just waiting for the tubs to come in so I can notch the frame. Got to thinking about it a little more. With the offset I'd have to run, I'd definately have to run an offset lower control arm to fit that wide of a rim. Bet it would stretch that tire out nicely though.

    If you keep the rear the stock width you will not have to get offset control arms. The Bogarts I had were 15x12 w/ 8in b/s. and fit fine.

    mine was cut, but only 3/4" per side when he put the 9" ends on. I think I'll just get the 10" ones since its a proven combo. Its not as if I need another snag to pop up.

    Yup mine is 6.5bs with being cut 1" on each side with the 10's they fit nice. I had no problems with the 325s on 10" rims I bet they would work better on a 12" rim though
    I wish my lawn was Emo so it would cut itself...

    Stop being a puss and put 12's on it, just do more measuring.

    Tell ya what, pick me up a set of Team Z offset lowers without spring perches and we'll make a trade. Then I'll get the 12" rims!
