either will work...but i've heard of people blowing beads on a 12.50 tire with a 10" wide rim...idk if they were aired down or not though...personally i think the 8" wide rims would look better...
but your tires wont be pushed out as far..lol..i like my tires to stick out past my fenders a couple of inches LOL

i also dont like the look of the 12.50 tire on a 10" rim...some people think you HAVE to have a 10" wide rim to run 10.50's or 12.50's..lol..its sad
if i ever run a 10" wide rim..then its gonna have to be a tire wider than a 13.50..lol
my next set of rims are gonna either be a 17x9 or 18x9.5's......yes i like bigg(er) rims...would even run a set of 20's on my 4runner if i found a set for cheap..lol

Seal correctly.... i think you'd get a good seal, but if you run a good amount of psi in it you'll wear on the middle of the tires so you'd just need to let some air out to get good contact pattern. I'm thinking 315/75/16's on 16x7's, poor man's beadlocks. Then later adding beadlock rings to the rims so they are 16x8 with a 37x12.50

they recommend a 10" wide wheel. and 8" would be ok, but i wouldnt go with a 7". (not that they wont work) its becouse like crolison said, you have to run low pressure to get them to wear evenly.

At Discount tire if you come in with a 285/XX/RXX or a anything 12.50" or wider on a 7 inch wide wheel we will turn you away and tell you to go to BIG O TIRE or try to sell you wheels, cause it simply is not safe...

lots of guys on here run 12.50's on stock SR5 alloys (check out lumpy's 4runner)
no problem with it..just gotta run the right pressure like Crolison said
i've seen guys run 13.50's on 8" rims..same thing there..or what about a 15.50 on a 10" rim..
of course alot of tire store tell guys that they can't run a 12.50 on an 8" rim just to get them to buy new rims....they did it to my friend..
he had already bought the 15x8's and the tire store talked him into buying a set of 15x10's and he had to sell the 15x8's...its stupid really..
the tire guy should do what i tell him...if i tell him to mount my 12.50 tire on my stock 7" rim..he needs to do it (of course verifying that the shop is in no way responsible for anything that happens..LOL)..but thats just me

hey man, I have a question. when I did do that my 1/4 in. spacers said on the box.. "not for off-road use" so I couldn't find out anywhere at the time if it was safe. so not too long after i bought some 8 wides. heck thats my runner has 8s on it now.

I have 12.50's on a set of 10's.............looks fine and never blew a bead..........lol well the time I hit a square rock at high speed I bent one of the 10's to the point I needed to bend it back big time, just to get to the lugs........oh that was fun......but I never broke the bead despite the 6+ inch gash in the sidewall
