10" vs 12" Wides

[dking020]

So I'm nearing the end of having everything together for my lift, just need to decide on wheel width. I picked up my 35x12.50x20 Trail Grapplers yesterday. Anyone have any experience with running either size? I have heard that the width of the 12" will cause some premature front end wear, but that big lip looks really good. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure of the look that you desire. I have a 35/12.5r20 but have them mounted on a stock 8.5" wheel. My tires stick out about an inch and a half past my fender. If I put a wider wheel it would just change the amount of tire protruding outside of my fender wells.

I say go 12 wides that's what I run and love it. So far no front end wear but another big factor besides wheels and size of wheel is what lift and how big, just keep that in mind also. Some people regret getting only x10 and the x12's stick out nice with that -44 offset. Can't wait to see the truck lifted

With the wheels that stick out soo far beyond the fenders aren't you guys and gals concerned with mud/rocks flying up while off-roading or are these trucks staying on pavement?

That is a concern of mine, especially having an all black truck.

If you like the fender flare look then I see no reason to worry about off set but if your like me and really don't like the look of trucks with them then off set becomes important.

this is how far mine stick out past and for me is acceptable. I don't really have to much mud and rocks flying and hitting my paint when out playing.

I have x10s and getting new wheels here soon and will probably stick with x10. I am running a 12.50 tire and have seen x12 that sit flush almost with the tire sidewall and last thing I want is to curb wheels that I spent money on and have them look like crap. Then again I use my truck and live in the mountains so I have a lot more instances where i would curb a wheel than someone who lives in the city.

Was there much trimming involved with the x10?

Yea I did have to trim some. The little black plastic piece where the mud flaps attach needed trimming and some of the inner liner but that was before I knew about the zip tie mod lol
