Default 28X12.5 WILL FIT LX WITHOUT MINI-TUBS

PUT THEM ON THIS MORNING. REMOVED THE QUAD SHOCK AND BRACKET. ROLLED THE LIPS, AND HAMMER TWEAKED ONE HUMP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE INNER WHEEL WELL. DROVE IT 30 MILES TO WORK NO WORRIES MATE. 8 INCH RIM WITH 5.5 BS, CAR IS LOWERED 1.75 INCHES, IT LOOKS LIKE ITS MINI-TUBBED, ALSO DROPPED MY GEAR DOWN FOR BETTER CRUISING. (HAD 26X11.5'S ON IT)

here's the trick, the 26x11.50 have 12" section on 10" rim, the 12.5's only have a 12.5 sec on 10" rim, so the belly width is about the same on 8in rims also. the narrow rim pulls the belly in and more od, the wide rims spread the belly and less od.
