I have a '05 tj 'X' I6 6spd. my questions are currently i have a new set of 30x9.5 bfgs i accuired from the dealer and i just put a rustys 2"coil lift on her, i also have a daystar 1.25" body lift. i want to run 33x12.5" but since my 30x9.5s are still good i was wondering if i can run both 30x9.5 &33x12.5 tires on the same rim size of 15x8?im wondering if airing down will cause beads to pop on the 12.5" tire on a 8" wide rim? i hate my stock gray steel rims and want to run some black steel ones. discount tire keeps saying i need to use 15x10" rims but i hink they just want a bigger sales price lol

15x8s are fine with 12.5 inch tires.
