I would love 11.5" wide tires, but would have to go down to 32's. Will a tire shop even install 12.5" wide tires on a 8" rim if the MFG suggest a wider width for the tire? There is a lot of extra weight in 12.5's and with this being my daily driver, mileage and on-road handling cant be completely sacrificed. I am curious too, about rubbing issues with that wide a tire.
