Default 12" Wide Wheels

I was wondering if any of you guy's are running a 33 x 12.50 or a 35 x 12.50 tire on a 18 x 12 or a 20 x 12 wheel. If so could you show some pics.

Generally speaking, you can get away with about a 4" wider tire than whatever rim you're using, and I'm not sure about the rest of your question, are you asking about running an 18-20" wide rim?

Ideally, you want to put a 12.5" tire on a wheel that is between 8.5" and 11" wide. As far as your question goes, I've NEVER seen a 20" wide wheel, at least not one for a pickup truck...

My Bad I don't know why I put that, stupid attack. I'm looking for A 18 X 12 wheel or a 20 by 12 wheel on a 12.50 wide tire. I'm looking to run a 35 x 12.50 once I get the 6" kit but then add a body lift and then run a 14" or a 15" wide tire. I just was wondering if I could get by with a 12" wide wheel on the 12.50 tire for a while.
