Depends on the tyre width :thumbup:

10.50 tyres run an 8" wheel

12.50 tyres run a 10" wheel

You can run 12.50s on an 8" wheel if you want :thumbup:

I'm gonna swap to some 35x10.50s on 8" wheels in a few months on the SWB I think. I've run wide tyres for so long I want to give something thinner a try.

Cool. Wasn't sure i'd be ok on 8" wheels. But as i already have them. They will do.

I was looking at 33/10.50s but there doesnt seem to be such a big choice compared to 12.50s.

Thats for later on. After the rock lobster.

Those 31s just dont seem to fill the arches anymore. I might stick with them yet. See how it settles over the next few months. Just looking at it its a lot higher.

Good to know i don't need new wheels though.
