33x10.5's on 15x8?
I'm getting ready to buy new tires... I currently run 33x12.5. I really want something lighter with less rotating mass, but still want the clearance. I'm going to get Dunlop Radial Rover all terrain tires in 33x10.5. How do you guys think having 15x8's with a 10.5 wide tire would be? I'm just worried if I air down my tires while wheeling my bead would break loose. Any comments/suggestions? Thanks!

After the same concern i ended up getting 33x10.50's on my 15X8 rims and would of done it again. I wheeled a few times at 12-15psi with no problems.
When aired down, the width of my tires appeared to be fine. I think you'd like 'em.

I really like my setup - 33x10.50 with no lift on stock rims. I would imagnie with just BJ spacers, you rub a little - that won't be a problem with the narrower tire.
I have the Radial Rover RVXT. I'm pretty happy with them. They do great on the street and the snow, and better than I would have thought in the mud. Plus you don't see them on every other truck like the BFG A/T.

Thanks guys! I'm definitely going to go with the Dunlops. I guess I'm somewhat partial... I only bought Dunlop D208's for my motorcycle before...

I hope to be running a set of stock tacoma rims and 33x10.50s w/in the next month. I'm going with the BFG ATs for the local dealer hookup value. I don't know how, but he is getting them for $105 a piece. I think that's a really good deal and can't pass them up. I can't wait !

I think you will have major problems holding the tire on the rim with only 1/2" difference between the section width and the rim width, plus they will be even shorter (smaller diameter) than normal.
As for what will fit on stock height - need to know more about your truck!

10.50s onan 8" rim is def. fine. I've got 10.50s on a 6" rim and have never popped a tire off, but I don't ever air down either, I've never even tried it to see what difference it makes.

i think the wider look is cool too.... especially with some fender flares.
