Default 15x10 Rim Suggestions

So I just picked up some 15x10 rims for free from a buddy, and I'm looking to get some tires for em. Nothing too beefy though, and it make me wonder whether or not to even use 15x10's. I feel they might be too wide, and i might pop a bead easily. I'm at stock height right now, and not planning on lifting it real soon. I'm not trying to offroad it all that much either. Should I just sell the 15x10s? Or just send it and see if they work? All tips and suggestions are always helpful. Thanks guys.

Unless you are going to run a tire that's 12.5" or wider I would sell those and get some narrower rims.

Yeah, I've been thinking about selling them. Should I just put these 265/75s on the stock rims?

The will fit the wheels okay but they will probably rub at stock ride height. A 265/75/15 is equal to a 31x10.50.

Never ever mount rubber with a tread width that's narrower than wheel.
