Default 15x8 or 15x10 wheels on cherokee

Please I need y'all opinions on what should look better on my 1999 cherokee sport.....

Would 15x8 on 31s look good?
Or. 15x10 on 31s would look better?

This is my first jeep so I don't know. If the would rub.....
Planning on a 3" suspension lift.....

31s would not only look better on the 15x8s, but would hold the bead much better offroad. 10 inch would be way to wide. What width tire are you looking at?

x2. I rode 33X 13.5 on 15X8,.. 15X8 on 31's will look good if you have stock flares. and if you wanna go wider ether get wider tires of wheel spacers are nice( but pricy)

I have 33x12.50s on 15x10s and also have a set of 33x12.50s on 15x8s. the 10s look better with the larger tire but the 8s will still hold the bead better.

That's for the quick responses guys!

On a 31x10.50 I would definately not go any wider than the 8 inch rim. The 10 inch would push the sidewall out so far that tire tread would actually look skinnier than the rim, and then we would be required to make fun of you.
