If you have a particular tire in mind, go to that tire manufacturer's website and research that tire, in the size you are interested in, there will be a recommended rim width as well a range of acceptable rim widths.

@Filipao
They look good, but M/T is mud terrain ? more aggressive than I need I think but they do look great

Take a look, judge for yourself, We don't get much rain, but when we do, these are to be driven wisely.
Otherwise they're the real McCoy.

All tyre manufacturers are obliged under law to provide the recommended and minimum/maximum rim dimensions for each size of each model of tyre. Some are better than others in publishing it. Don't rely on generic sites as they are usually predicated on car tyres not off road ones.

I have had 235 -75-15 on stock Gen3 alu rims long enough to wear them out.
And of course there is a difference between low profile tires and high like 75 and road and offroad tires.
I have never went off the bead on the rims offroading with 0.4 bar "pressure" and they wear off evenly so i am happy.
If you have the need to get your mods approved by every involved manufacturer you will find some kind of stop message very fast.
For my BFG 235's they say 6 to 8 inch wide rims.
For the BFG 215's they say 5.5 to 7 inch.
