10 inch wheels with 12.5 tires

[02_WHITE_TJ_X]

I picked up some alloy wheels for a pretty good deal but they are 10 inch wheels. If I use them am I going to run into problems with a 35x12.5 tire BFG MT or MTR? I'm thinking that some day I will send them in to be bead locked by champion. But if a 10 inch wheel won't work I'll sell them on Ebay and I will come out ahead you know how those ebay buyers are but won't have alloy wheels.

How low do you air down to? I run 10" rims with a 12.50 width tire and don't have any trouble in the 10-12 range unless I'm cutting the wheel too hard and fast on higher speed stuff.

I run my SSR's at 10 psi. If I go with BFG's I will probally go up to 12-15 psi.

Not much fear of losing a bead with those kinds of pressures unless you get in to V notch type stuff or turn your wheel in to a rock or such.
