15x8s :thumbs: 

Holds a bead better, allows the tire sidewall to flex more on the rocks, and protects the rim more.  if possible, can you send me some pics with them?  thanks

For that size I'd definitely say 8".  Although I run 11.5's...  But I'm a special case. :gap:

i had aluminum 10s that were dialed and never blew a bead running them on 37 goodyear mtrs at 3psi all day in the snow everytime i went out. i wanted to be wider so i got some steel wheels with 2 1/2 BS on a 10's again and its been the worst thing ive ever had to deal with. i need new wheels and they will be 8s. i think because the wheel is narrower the tire is pushing against the rim harder than the 10s. go 8s.

I ran 15x10's on some 33" TSL's last summer.  I ran them @ 10-12 psi in the rocks and never had a blown bead.  I bought the wheels cheap and was planning on running a wider tire in the future (aka the 39.5" Iroks I'm on now).  I would suggest the 15x8's but don't rule out the 10's if you need to run them.

15x8s are ideal but 15x10s are fine if you want a little extra width.
