I know I'm insane, but...
Has anyone ever had an experience putting a 33 or 35X12.5X15 on stock rover
15" wheels? I know it's stupid, I know it's going to look like a balloon,
but it's only for off-road use, occasional road, mostly putting around town,
getting to the local trails. I have a set of good wheels and tires with a
good road pattern for winter and highway use. The muds are for exactly that.
The turning radius is not an issue as I am going to RR axles.

He seems to be running big old interco swampers on what appears to be stock
rover 15" wheels. I suspect my 35" tires will be an even better fit, as
there is more sidewall... Any first hand experiences with this insanity?
Another idea I had, after looking at drag race cars, is to screw the tire
into the rim. Racers use small hex head screws, about 5/8" in length, screw
them through the outer lip of the rim, into the tire, to hold it up against
the rim, kind of like a poor man's beadlock. Any opinions on this?
