If your going with a 12.5 width tire, the rims cannot be lower than a 8 width rim. Would be better with an 8.5 or 9.

Need to check the offset on the 2010 rims, compare it to your current rims. If the offset is low you should be fine.

Ideally you want the wheel to be 3-4" less than the width of the tire... Most popular size wheel for a 12.5" wide tire is a 9"...

for 12.5 they recommend 9" wide minimum and 10" will look the biggest. You can get away with an 8" rim but its not ideal especially when you go with a larger than 15" diameter rim..
