How wide a rim should I run with a 31 x 15.5 R15 V tread?

You are probably going to get a ton of different answers and opinions, I am running mine on 15x15 beadlocks and still have a nice square shoulder. If your not planning on running beadlocks then a 12 would be the smallest I would try to squeeze them on.

I personally like a 15x12 cause you get a little more bead protection than a wider rim.I have ran them on a 15x10 and man it sure does roll the edges in.wears the centers out.Chad :mrgreen:

I ran 14" wide wheels with my stones. The wheels got the crap beat out of them because the tire didn't protect the wheel bead. If I were to do it again I would run no wider than 12". That pulls the bead inside the tire allowing the side wall of the tire to cushion the outside of the wheel.
