Guys ive found a package deal on new TSL's mounted on 15x8 rims.

I know they recommend 10" rims for 12.50's, whatcha think about the TSL's on the 8's ??
 
May look a bit funky, but there are plenty of us running 11.50's on 8's with no issues. I can't see 12.50's any issue either.
 
Most people prefer a 12.5" wide tire on a 8" rim, it allows for better air down provides better rim gard since the tire will bulge more...
 
I don't know anybody who runs a 12.50" tire on a 10" rim. It will be safer to air down...less chance to unseat the tire.
 
Yeah you'll be fine. I was running 32x11.50 bfg m/t on 15x8 steelies for about 3 years no problems. i just upgraded recently to 33x12.50 warngler MTR on 15x8 steelies. Have aired down to about 8psi several times with no problems. I say DO IT!!!!
 
I ran 14.50's on seven inch wide wheels for years. No problems

I ran 12.50's on a 7" wide rim, they did great never unseated the bead aired down.
