how wide of a rim do i need for a 12.5 tire

This depends on the tire. Each tire manufacturer has a suggested wheel width that is optimum for the tire. Look them up and see what they recommended.

yeah, 9 inch will work........ but a 10 would be a bit better........ or do as 75k said, and check with the tire manufacturer...... and go with what they say.
