picked up these bitchin 30x9.50x15 goodyear MTRs for el burro bug for dirt duty. i currently have 15x8 jackmans that im planning on putting the tires on, but im wondering if i should go with a 7 in wide rim instead? whatcha think?

7" btrs will work just fine

With 8's you will have a hard time seating the tires.

Narrow is good. 7" is the widest I would go... 6.5 would be a good choice for a 9.50 tire

agreed. with a wider rim, it's easier to blow a bead too.

I agree with what was said above but if you want to got the cheapest route, use your existing wheels and run tubes. No problem seating the tires and less chance of breaking a bead.
