I'm running a 36x15.5 on a 18x9 wheel. No problems.

I personally wouldnt go more the 4.5" over rim width. you can run 12.5" tires on some 9" rims. I would like that better. thats just me though.

I wouldn't worry about it, guys run 12 inch wide tires on the skinny dually rims, and still tow with them.
