legally you need 9 inch rims if it specifies it.

as for the better choice 8 inch by far, even 7 is better again. poor man's bead lock

10" rims look cool but not enough side pressure on beads, if you drop below about 15psi off road you'll start popping tyres in ruts. I'm running 10.5" simex on 7" rims and they are fine so your 11.5s on 8" rims should be sweet.
I also run 12.5" BFG MT's on alloy 7" as well, the BFG's are a bit wallowy on the road unless you keep them pumped hard, and then they round out a bit and wear in the center.

Measure backspacing = wheel flange to edge of rims.
Measure rim width and split in half to get center measurement
The difference between backspacing and center is the offset. If its closer to the hub (wheel sticks out further) its negative offset.

Or just ask on ORE and someone will know. :lol:
