I used a +35 to tuck them the best I could but u could get away with a +30 or +32 a bit better without trimming but would also loose a bit of tuck and risk fouling on the outer guard..u could go a 9.5" rim too.. I reckon after seeing these mounted on a 9" rim a 10" would be too wide and have no bulge and take away what they are designed to do.. they tyres I went are M&H Drag radials and have a 1/2" bigger contact patch than a Mickey and are specified to be mounted on a 9" rim..8" ba/bf rims have the runs on the board but there are much better options and if your spending $700 on a set of tyres ya dont want them to wear unevenly and leave the shoulders with meat on them which is all too common.. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90877-rims-for-mt-et-radials/#findComment-1554741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
