Not in my opinion. I've ran a bunch of 12.5s on 8" wide wheels. Can always add weld on beadlocks for ~9" wheel.
I have 42x14.5s on 8.5" wide wheels in my garage. And they're fine.
Wouldn't the beadlock just add the thickness of the rim lip (or at most another 1/4 for a thickness of a surface welded beadlock ring)?
I considered taking the F250 wheel and turning it into a beadlock, but wasn't sure if a 7-1/2 (or even 8") rim would be wide enough to run safely. When I look up 12.5" wide tire specs, they all seem to say 9" wide rim minimum.
