15x8

10's would be the best but 8's will work. i have 33 1250's on my stock 15 x 7 wheels i am planning on moving up to 8's i dont want them to stick out to far that is why i am not going to 10's

hope that helps

10' would be the best............My company has a new wheel on the Market for 2002. Its an affordable steel locker wheel in chrome or black...Also being made in alum......

 

[coolchris]

what damage would posibly be caused by putting them on 8's? would it look funny? would it look too wide on 10's?

 

[GTRIDER]

15X8 can make the tire "Crown" and wear out too fast in the center.......although you can lower the air pressure to compensate for the rim.

 

[coolchris]

alright, thanks for your help guys... ill go for the 15x10''

I would run 8's. I think a 10 would rub like a SOB. I run a 35x12.50 on an 8 and my hard core wheelin buddy says 8 is optimal for keeping it on the bead, rub, etc. He runs a 7 on his Mud terrain 32x11.5s for similar reasons, perhaps see what others say who actually run a 10 inch rim, I know Perry does.

Unless you have at least 7" or more of clearance, the 8" rim would be the best. I am running an 8" rim on mine with 33x12.5 Mickey Thompson's. Any wider of a rim and I would be rubbing on the corner suspension travel. I am running 7" total lift on mine right now and am glad that I bought the 15x8's. National Tire & Wheel also recomended it. Plus, if you have any off road plans, the 8's will help prevent the beads from blowing due to rocks limbs and whatever you come across.

 

[coolchris]

oh really? thats good to know cuz i will be running about 4-5'' of lift only (1.5'' torsion/ 3'' body lift). so now its 8''?

 

[Dannyboy]

If you look at several other trail rigs you will see a lot of guys running 8's to keep em on the bead, in the newest issue of 4wheel and sport utility there is a buggy running a 8 inch rim with 37X12.5 Goodyear MTRs

4 in difference is ok, an 8 would be fine. though anyone at a tire shop would recomend a 10
