Tried to install my 235/70/16" on my new Moab rims, but they wouldn't seat to the bead.

Any suggestions?

The 235's are to narrow for the 16x8 MOAB's,you need a min of 245's to mount on the MOAB's.

Some 245's may have a problem too. Make sure to check with the manufacturer to see if 8" rims are approved.

I had not problems getting my 245/70's to mount on my moabs.

And I dont think tjkj would ever get rid of his kj.

They should be able to get them on!! When i had my CJ i had 10.5" wide tires on 7" wheels. But they did say they had a very hard time getting them on!

this is the opposite problem. His tires are too narrow for the rims. Not the rims too narrow for the tires.

I would think that if you're having difficulties getting the tires mounted on your rims (i.e.: can't seat the bead) that you'd lose your bead easily on the trails. A friend of mine recently traded in his shiny aluminum rims for simple steel rims after losing a tire (yes a whole tire not just the bead). Apparently aluminum rims don't hold a bead well(?). Maybe that's a generalization. Rim profiling :lol:
