Default noob question on rims and existing tires

I've got the Maxxis bighorn radials on factory rims. Bent the hail out of the right rear and front.
Will my tires fit onto rear ITP steel rims with 4/137? I know the bolt pattern is the same, and its supposed to have the offset correct, but the set consists of 2 10” rims. Are those too wide for the std. bighorns? I cant find the width for the factory rims.

thanks a million, its an expensive mistake, no one takes back scratched rims LOL

Prairie 650 4WD 02 Rear 12x7, 4/137

found it. Question should have been, can I go to a 10" wide rim with no problems and my Bighorns?

thanks

IMO, the 10" wide wheel is too wide for the 10" wide Big Horn, for cornering & general riding... I'm sure they will mount up, & you may be able to seat the beads with a blast tank, & may be able to keep them seated with high normal to higher pressures, but the tire O.D. will be smaller than those mounted on an 8" or 7" wide wheel... I think the stock wheels are like 6.5" wide in the front, & 7.5" wide in the rears...

BTW... I use a set of 12.5" wide tires mounted on a custom 12" wide wheel, for pulling, but think I'd have problems with high speed cornering, if I ran normal air pressures...

are you sure the ITP's are 10" wide... if so, are you sure they're a 12" diameter wheel ???? that would be an unusual size...

duh, typo on my part. Nope regular sized rims, just 10" wide.
Pretty good deal for new rims on closeout- I'm guessing someone special ordered and backed out or whatever, was hoping for some bling on the el cheapo.
I see the Bighorns have an 8" wide bead (?) so that could be too wide.
dam...

I wasn't talking about the 10ft wide typo in the title... but are you sure the wheels aren't 10" x 10" rather than 12" x 10" ??? the 10" wheel is used more on the V Force, & would have the same bolt pattern, & it would be much more common to find a wider than stock wheel for the V Force, than the Prairie... BTW... our little 300 Prairie came with 10" X 8 or 8.5" wheels, also with the 4 on 137 bolt pattern & they were steel wheels in stock form... so I'd bet that it may be a typo from them, the wheels being 12" O.D.
