15x8 or 15x10....

Hey guys
Im running an 03' Level II with 4.10 gears, 3 inch body lift, and 1.75 inch tbar crank.

Before I go out and order the wrong rim/ tire package I want to see what you guyz think of what I've narrowed it down to. It seems from older posts this is the most popular package for performance and durability factors:
33s X 12 or 12.5 X 15

For rims, Between 8-10 inches ???
.....What do you guys think?

thx rock on
btw I will post picks once I get them mounted

8 inch wheels , be kind to the bearings on a daily driver

If you get the 33x12.5 tires, get the 15x8 rims. What kind of rims/tires were you thinking?

I have 32 x11.5 tires and 15x8 rims, and it's just fine if that helps...

Do the 8" rims, they're easier on wheel bearings and ball joints, especially on a daily driver. It's not the offroad where wide rims hurts stuff (90% of the time), it's the daily wear and tear.

You could also go with a 4.5" backspace on the 10s, that should be OK on the bearings also.

If it will be wheeled at all (and the tires aired down for the trail), then for sure you'll want the 8s.

Hey guys thx for the info-
Here is what I am looking at-

try cut and copying the link. you should get two different rims...

its a 15x8 rim with either 3.75 or 4.75 backspacing..... hmm im thinking the 4.75?

oh shiat- by the way
its a (-19mm) offset for the 3.75 backspace
and a (+6 mm) offset for the 4.75 backpace

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Do the 3.75" to get the tires just outside the fender look. Doing 4.75" will bring them way inside the fender, almost more then stock.

-19offset on a 15x8 will be perfect
