The tires are being pulled in a little bit...
In my book, this is a good thing. Back in the day, we would purposefully mount wide tires on narrow rims just for it as it does a great job of helping to keep your bead from rolling. We used to call it a poor man bead lock.
...so they should be mounted on 11 or 12" wide by the look of it can weld on bead lock rings or internal double beadock air bags i forget who makes them! thats not a problem to keep the tire on the rim when air down.
For a regular street wheel and tire, I understand where you would say this but for off roading, I personally would disagree. As far as welding on a bead lock ring goes, I personally know someone who's been seriously injured by one breaking during inflation and would never trust one because of it. Good luck installing a set of Staun internal bead lock. Even their own reps can barely do it.
But the 16x10 i have are like 4.5" BS and with 1.5" spyder trax spacers its not offset out enough it still looks goofy with 4" evo coils to tall and skinny...
4.5" of BS + 1.5" of spacers should effectively give you 3" of BS. That should have your wheels sticking way out!
Maybe a rim shop can cut and reweld my centers and keep them straight and true? if i stay with the same width rim.
Honestly, there is no way I would ever do something like that.
I want to run this size tire 38x14.50 i love the size and look just not sticking out enough is all!
You are running 14.50's with 3" of BS and you don't think they stick out enough? :thinking:
If i could fine another tire i like in this size i would switch to 17" rims but most are 13.50 or 12.50 wide tires and i like the look of 14.50 this is all about personal preference and im OCD haha
Maybe what you need is a set of 20" wheels and run a 40x15.50. That's what I had been running in the past and you really can't get any wider than that. Still, it will only be a 10" wide wheel with 3.5" of BS. :idontknow:
