Default Rim difference

I have 15x10 rims right now with 32/11.50 I'm getting new rims and going to 33 12.50 tire. I was wondering if I put a 15x10. Will they sick out more with the 33 12.50 or should I buy 15x8 rims.

15x8 is just right.....I had 15x10's on my Ranger and I didn't like how it looked. I bought 15x8's and it made it look so much better

Are you buying rims for the looks or for wheeling?

If they are for looks everyone will have a different opinion, if you want to wheel get the 15x8s, they will let you air down more and still hold a bead. I run my 35/12.50r15s on 15x8 non-beadlock rims at 5psi in the snow without issue.

33x12.5x15 on a 15x8 rim. Nothing really to look at. It does make the tire look a bit skinnier than 12.5 tires on 10 in rims
