12.50R20 XL's are approved for a 11" rim. So you should be able to run a 10 or 12" wide rim.

They are only good for like 50-55 mph. I'm just saying what michelin says. So don't shot me.

That's true, they are rated for 56mph with a tremendous load rating. I know John runs the 12.50R20 Continentals on his excursion. It's driven to 57mph and a little more all the time.
