    You need at least a 15x8 but a 15x10 will work too. A 10" will stretch the tire a litte more to make it look "bigger". If you have a lift I would go with a 10", It looks better. If you don't have a lift the 8" will have to do because of tire clearance. Just my .02

    I plan on using a 15x8 with 5x4.5 bolt pattern with 3.75 spacing wheel so the tire sidewall will protect the rims from rock damage. I have a 3 inch suspension lift so clearance shouldn't be a problem. What I don't know is the proper recess or offset to position the tire load on the bearings in a manner that will minimize bearing wear.
