Wide 33's

Has anyone had expriences with a 33-15.5 or 14.5in wide tire. Im looking to put 15.5in wides on a 16.5x9.75 wide wheel. Is that too wide of a tire for a 9.75in wide wheel. Interco's website says that it will be okay but Im not sure if I really believe that... Any thoughts?

Re: Wide 33's

I used to run 14.50/37-16.5s on 9.75s with no problems. I went through three sets of the same tires from '77-'92 and they wore fine. I even drove one truck from MD to AZ and back. These were bias plies (Armstrong). Figure guys run 12.50s on 8" these days more than 10". It's about the same proportions.
