Default Tire question?

I'm looking at Dunlop mud rover tires and I'm wondering how well a 12.50 tire would fit on a stock rim or is it too wide? Thanks

They will rub and cause you problems. Go 10.5 and call it good.

How wide would the wheels need to be to put those tires on there?

They will fit just fine on your rims but they might rub and they will wear more in the center.
