If you ever plan on running a 12.5 wide inch tire get 8" wide rims.

Most run 4" or 3.75 on aftermarket rims.

LOL no I know what your saying. This one wont ever see what my previous 4x4's did. I just put the lift on it so I can put a little bigger tire to get down to my river fishing holes and hunting grounds easier
