37/12.5 17 on a 8 inch wheel? Thoughts?

[Robertriley]

Hey all,
I have a Non-SAS Badlands and I finally talked myself into a Zone 3.5 inch lift and 37's. I go out with friends every other month or so but I do lighter runs with them. I really like the looks of the Black Rhino Glacier wheels (tough with a bit of retro) but the the widest rim is a 17x8. I saw them on a T&C video paired up to some 37's but wanted to make sure that wouldn't be too narrow. What's your thoughts? I attached the video too


Thanks ahead of time,
Chris

Narrower wheels hold the bead better when airing down. I ran 33x10.5x15 with 15x7 wheels on my ranger and would air down to around 8 psi and never had an issue.

17x8 would be perfect for a 12.5 tire IMO.
