Default wheel sizing question

Just wondering about using some 15 x 10 wheels on my cherokee. Any concerns about using 10" wheels. These are what I am looking at...

Need more info on your rig.. What's your setup?

They should work, but they'll be fairly wide.

More importantly, what size tires are you planning on running?

If you plan on wheeling it with a tire less than 14" wide you won't be able to air down much. With a 12.50 or smaller I prefer an 8" wide wheel for that reason alone.

Had 33x12.5x15's on my old cherokee with 4.5 lift and Tj flares. Liked that setup, but using bushwackers or Napier flares. Thanks for the info

Also wondering what everyone thinks of getting some newer JK wheels (cheap on craigslist) and using adaptors. I know they would be 17" but would want to do a 4.5 lift and 33's of some size. Any ideas or recommendations appreciated. Thanks again

For what you'd pay for a "good" set of adapters you can buy a set of steel wheels like D windows or soft 8s.
