15x8 or 15x10's!?

[steve2K3]

I am putting BFG A/T 32x11.50's on my black '99, 4-door, XLS and I can't decide whether to get 15x8's or 15x10's. Will you all give your opinions on which one you think will look the best?
(And yes I am getting a lift.)
Thanks

For 11.50s, you definately want 15x8s!

whats the difference between the 15x8 and 15x10. i know 15 is the rim size in inch but what does the other number mean?

 

[Chew_12]

how wide it is

 

[bdogg23]

so is it wider is better? or is it just whatever you want?

A good rule of thumb is to choose the wheel width that is (nearly) equal to the tire tread width. An 8" wide wheel is good for an 11.50 tire. I had a set of 12.50's on 15x8 wheels on my Bronco, and they also worked good.

And to answer the next question, no, 11.50 isn't the tread width, it's the cross-sectional width.....
