15x8's are good if you air down. Airing down on 15x10's make it easier to lose the bead.

15x8 will work but if you ever think youll go bigger get the tens and you will not need new ones when you go bigger

I have always run 15x8's myself.. I run 15x8 beadlocks with 36x13.5x15s on my trail buggy and they work great. I tend to like the way an 8 inch rim makes the tire look.
