Default Wheel width?

Just put a 3" bds lift on my 96 ZJ and I'm going with pro comp mud terrains 32s and idk what size rime would LOOK better? A 15x8 or 15x10. I would like the tires to stick out of the fenders so I was thinking the 15x10s. I just don't want it to look like the wheel is thicker than the tire.

I think it it not goin to make a different between the 15x8 or the 15x10 it mite stick out a lil more but it really about the backspacing on the rim that will make the rims stick out I run 15x10 on a 4.75 backspacing on a 32x1150x15 I goin bigger tire soon but that what I have now I hope that help with ur choice and here a pic of my jeep from the front to let u see how much my stick out but u also got to realize that I have bushwacher cut-out flares on so the basic line up perfect with the flares

Only difference appearance wise is the tire's sidewall will be almost flat with the 15x10. With 15x8, the sidewall will be bubbled out a little. Wheel width has nothing to do with how much a tire sticks out, that is a wheel's backspacing that does. The less the backspacing, the more the tire sticks out.

Personally i would get a 15x8 with around 4" backspacing.

15x8

if you want it to stick out a bit more, get 3.75 backspacing.
