I'm not sure but I believe QUADRATEC will tell you what tire or wheel will fit which... and another hint, find a tire calculator to convert that to standard so it's easier to understand. BUT... if you don't want to do all that, find yourself a ???/11.5 0r 12.5/15 and you're set to jet.

11.5 and 12.5 inch wide tires will work on a 10in wide rim if you plan to keep the jeep a street queen.. However if your gonna be airring down for offroading look for a 15x8 inch rim with 3.75-4.25 bs Unless you want to run a 13.5in wide tire or wider then the 15x10 will be fine in the case of airring down..
Now with that said I know people with 12.5in wide tires that air down decently low but it's not really worth the extra risk just to have a bit wider rim

I'm assuming pavement princess, right off the bat. based on the question...
here's a good question, how many here run a wheel that size? And better yet, why?
And are we talking about negotiating rocks or going through ruts?
rocks: wider tire
mud: slim tire = les material to displace
best combination i have ever run was 15x8 with 33/12.5/15 (toyo mt)
p.s. don't forget the big brothers of the tire game; 14.5 and 15.5

If your not taking it offroad much, then another suggestion for the wider stance would be wheel spacers with you stock rims or maybe 15x8's if your getting new rims. They are not suggested as they are considered a weak point while offroad, but if your just going for the look then I think it would be a better and cheaper option. Just my .02

spidertrax (wheel spacers) are fine for offroad, weekend use. that is what they are designed for. weekend use. they are not designed to be on your daily driver. but having said that. I ran mine all day, everyday and never had a single problem. if you're the owner of a pavement princess, go for it and save the cash of on the wheel and tire combo

31 10.50 15 will mount on them wheels. but if your not lifted them 10inch wide wheels will rub like a bi!@h lol unless you cut most the fenders off.
