Just picked up a set of 15x10 mickey Thompson classic ii's but after reading alot of the threads It seems that getting a thinner wheel might be better. The biggest tire I'll be running for now is 33x12.5. So would I be better off with 15x7 15x8 or will the 15x10s work fine? The main wheeling I do is rocks and some mud so airing down is a big help. But if I decide to go smaller ill have a set of 15x10's for sale

Rule of thumb with Wheels vs. Tires is you want to wheel to be no more than 4" narrower than your tire size, so a 10" wide wheel will easily take a 33x12.50 tire.
i like the look of a 15x10 with a 33x12.50 tire but when u start airing them down is when u can start to run into trouble with the bead breaking...im running 33x12.50's on 15x8's and i air them down between 12 to 15psi when i go wheeling and 30psi on road and they ride and wear great. IMO id sale them and get 15x8's
