RIght now Ive got 33 x 12.5 x 15 Tires on my stock steelies (which are 15 x 8 or 8.5)

I can get some Dick Cepek DC2s that were on a toyota. But they are 15 x 10 rims.

what will this do to my stance on my truck, being a wider rim, that would make my tire wider hence shorter? How much height would I lose. If I ever go up to 35" how would this effect things. Ive got a 2" lift right now.

Thanks
 
The wider rims will make a minimal difference in overall height of the tire. In my experience the only way you would know there is a height difference is if you actuall measured it, but you couldn't tell just by looking.

Widers rims can cause a little more tire rubbage on the front when turning, but usually nothing too major.
 
I agree with 6.2Blazer, the height difference would me very minor if you changed rims on the same tires, now going from a 33" BFG to a 33" DC (for example) there could be a difference because not all manufactures tires measure out at what they are listed as.
That being said, the only other thing to consider is if there is a difference in backspacing. That could cause rubbing issues or increase the actual width of your truck.
