If you had a set of 30inch tires on 15x8 rims would you want the 15x8's or keep the 15x7 stock rims. Will a 30 x 9.5 sit any different on 15x7 than a 15x8?

the 30x9.50 will fit fine on either. the 15x7 will be less likely to get curb rash of beat up on a trail

not me, easier to go with a wider tire next time then a wider rim.

It wont sit any different but a 15x8 will allow you to upgrade to a wider tire later on down the road.
