if you want minimal rub, then go w/ 15x10" w/ like 3.75" of 3.5' of backspacing. a 15x8" is good for offroad purposes, but are not the best for street when your running a 12.5" tire. if you do mostly on road riding, then i would go w/ the 15x10" wheel. you will also maximize your tire wear. -russel
