1 Inch = 2.54 cm.... so 10.5 Inches = 26.67 cm = 266.7 mm

Hell, a 12.5" tire will fit on a 8" wheel... it'll just buble out a ton...

........I'm gonna mount my 12.5's on 10's though so the sidewalls don't get torn up on the street

i have my 12.50's on my 8'' wide wheel and it isnt that bubbly at all.. Most Toyota guys prefer it than a 10'' wide wheel because it has less of a chance of falling off the beads while under heavy load..

not to mention my truck looked liek a mexican and rubbed way more with the 10'' wheels
