Im building a puller and i want to put 26 12 12 on my rims and they have 23×1050 ×12 will the 26 12 12 fit on my rims

They will, but will be pinched in. You really need a 12" wide wheel if you want to pull it.

 

Also, tuck the tire and wheel in as close to the frame as possible. Pulls a little straighter that way. 

 

If you want to go with steel wheels, this guy can make them with whatever backspacing you want. He is mainly a Cub guy, but the wheels are the same.

26x12x12 fit   23x1050x12, todays sub compacts and compacts most all have  that set up. my D-250 came with that set up. tractors come with rims smaller then the tire. Drag cars you need the rim  as wide as the tire. been there done that. If want the same size rims and do pulling you need to pin the tire to the rim same as drag tires or at high toque the tire will spin on the rims. most speed shops sell the screw kits for tires.

The stock rims will work but are too narrow and make the tire too round and you loose foot print. This causes less traction

The 23x10/50x12 tires come on rims that are 8.5 wide, it would really pinch in some 12" wide tires. 

 

I pulled for quite a few years and you don't have to screw the tires to the rim. I don't think I saw anyone doing it where I pulled.
