not sure what size rim you are looking for but Justin just threw some 33x12.5 Nittos on his stock 18's AKA Hurricanes.

I think the steel rims I see people have on the Discoverys are 16"s. I think that is the smallest you can go.

Only 8" width but, these are a good alternative to stock Rover wheels. Very similar to the ones on AB. I've never seen a 10" rim with the DII bolt pattern.

I don't think you necessarily need a 10" wide rim for a 12.50" tire, do you?

First why do you want that big a tire? What do you have for a lift, diffs. And axles? You will also need wheel spacers and a lot of sheet metal triming.

Why do you want rims that wide for a 12.50 tire? You will need to watch your bead if you air down... or better yet just don't air down. I used to run a 10in rim on my Jeep but I was running 14.5 Mickey Thompsons. An 8in rim with the proper backspacing will serve you much better, and will look better.

Im running 33x12.50's on a 7" 16"wheel never had a problem......But I usually dont have more than 20psi in the wheels either.

But to answer your question Justin at www.lucky8llc.com can order them in any backspaceing and width you want, there steel if that makes any difference to you

Brian, wait till you see Justins new truck on Friday, i think he put D1 axles and mounts on a D2 so he could use a TF 3" lift to fit 33's under it. or something crazy like that.
