35x12.50 on 8 inch rim??
 
will it work? i got 35 baja claws on a ten inch rim now and thought 8's would look better. anyone running this combo or have pics?

I don't have any pics, but I know for a fact that it will work. It should look better too! Figure that there's a 4" difference in width when comparing your tires and wheels, and mine have a 5" difference. Yours should look similar to this but smaller in proportion.

Yes it should work, I'm running 35x12.50 15 BFG Mud Terrains on 8" wide rally wheels with no problems. I've done this on several different trucks over the years and never had any problems.

Rim width for a 12.5 is roughly 8.5-10". Extra .5" never hurt, right? ;)

im runing 15x8s on my 35's. on interco's website (tire manufacturer) it says "8.5-10" for the ones i have. BUT on the tire itself it says 8in only.. im sure it'll run a 8.5-10in wide wheel, i just thought that was kinda funny

Interco has like 8 plants making there tires. Doesn't surprise me that wires would get crossed on something like that.

I fear for Interco's future...

I would guess each brand has their own requirments, and that they may be different then the same size tires made by somone else.

I am running a set of 315/75/16 on a set of 8 inch rims as well. I actually like the tire to bulge a bit when it's mounted on a narrower rim instead of the kind of a square look when it's on a wide rim.
