33x11.5 tire on 16x10 rim?

How bad is it to run 285/75/16's on a 16x10 rim? ive heard mixed feelings but id rather know what could be bad about it. I heard your more likely to pop a bead when offroading, but i never air down. how is it for wear? The tires wont be on there for more than a year, and by then i should have some 12.5 wide's

I wouldn't. 16x8 yes. But not a rim that's only a little over and inch wider skinnier than the tire.

I'd say no... run what you have now and do the tires/wheels all at once!
