what size?

I need to get new wheels due to swapping the 14 bolt in. I run 35x12.50x15 procomp MT tires

What yall think, 15x10 or 15x8?

Get the 15x8's so you do not have as much of a rubbing problem up front.

I vote other because if you ever get a D60 upfront then you either need to shave the calipers or get a 16" or 16.5" rim. If not then I say go as wide as you can go.
I heart big rear ends

Grinding the calipers isn't so bad. I voted 15x8's because they will hold the tire on the bead better and slightly increase the tire's height (and slightly decrease the contact patch). Unless you are in mud, height > width IMHO.

same as they said. but a 12.50 tire is all you can fit on a 15x8 rim i believe

You can fit wider, but tire/wheel manufacturers recommend no wider than 12.50" on an 8" wheel. There are people that slam 42's (15" wide) on 8" wheels.

That is just asking for trouble, no sir not me!

Thanks yall. I went with a 15x8 wheel with 3.5 inch backspacing. Ordered the wheels, should be here this week.

I will . I voted 15X8 as that is what I have with 12.5s and I went down to 8 PSI and never had a problem. Poor mans beadlock .

i also say 8. but i have personaly wheeled with a guy with 33x12.5, on 15x6 wheels. at very low pressures and never blew a bead. but i still say 8's i think 10's leave you too exposed
