Dilemma! Quick answer on tires/rims
I want to go with 32 11.50 15 tires. Im jackin the Cherokee 4.5"...
Heres the dilemma... go with 15x8 (4"bs) or 15x10 (4"bs)?
I read 15x10s then read people say 15x8s are better
help??

the bead will seal better on the 15 x 8's, but the 15 x 10's will work too.

Do you plannin going with larger tires later? Id suggest the 15x8s...but I'm not a fan of really wide rims..32s will buldge on 15x8s but like states above will seal better.

8 inch wide is fine for 32s anything wider that the 32s you want may pose problems on the 15x8s...like i said..the 15x8s will seal better but if you prefer less sidewall buldge and a wider setup go for the 15x10s..personally I have 15x8s with 4 inch backspacing and I love em..perfect width for me
well hell, im lost. lol

I'm just trying to point out a few things. A Long as you stay around a 12 inch wide and lower tire a 15x8 inch rimm will do you justice, I prefer the 15x8 because i think that a less wide rim looks better..and because it less wide the bead of the tire fits tighter, creating a better seal
i like this guys set up.. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f11/98...-trade-103037/ he has the 15x10s. i will roll with the 10s but appreciate what you are saying, hence my dilemma. you have a pic of 15x8 with those tires?

correct. But as long as you stay within the tire manufacturer's recommendation like in that link I posted in the other thread, you got no worries.
