Q: Rims and tires.
If my tires are 33x12.50 that fit 16"rims. Could I fit rims that are 16x8? If not what would be the smallest width I could use as far as rim size? I'm keeping the tires but looking to get nee rims. So I would need to know the right size rim for my tires. Also any advice on how to find and choose the right offset. Thanks!
