    If it were me, I'd go with a narrower rim. (like an 8 inch rim) Having a rim that's wider than your tire can invite a number of issues, including the possibility of breaking a bead from over stretching your tire. That being said, if you keep your rims, I'd look for a wider tire, like the Toyo MTs, that come in a 13.5 width.

    I see you're from American Samoa. How's the wheeling out there?

    Lol there is actually no wheeling out here. Island is to small and no trails. Also not worried about the bead, max speed limit here is 25mph and i dont wheel. So its just for looks. But thanks ill look into those Toyo MT's.

    Actually, i havent run into any problems with the rims. Had them for over 5 years now other than the wheel bearing that was the only problem i had so far.
