A 15x8 will suck the side walls in & the center of the tire will wear faster. I would go with a 15x10 that way the tire will wear more even  :twocents: But it also depends if your going to drive it on the road alot.

15x8  you can air down more cuz the narrower wheel will hold the bead a little better (poor mans bead locks)

8" if you wheel hard

10" if you street drive it a lot
I'm going yota JUST so I can buy from Marlin more.
