Ive read through some similar posts but I was wondering if some of you run this combo of tire and wheel, what the pros and cons and if you could post some pictures of how it looked?

Give him the backspace on your rims. That's the only area that can be a problem, you will rub the leaf springs while turning if you have too much backspace. I'm guessing you'll want under 4" backdoace, my 15x8 have 3.75.

Thanks guys! I just got my first yj this last weekend and it has 33x15.5r15 on it right now with the 15x10 wheel. I just didn't want quite that wide of a tire, not to mention they are kinda pricy. Just curious to how the 12.5 was on a 10" wide wheel.

Everything I've heard is that they will fit fine on the 15x10, it's just easier to dislodge the bead if you air down to do any type of serious off roading and bump your sidewall without beadlock rims...that's why I think 15x8 is choice among the serious off road crew. Unless this is you, I'm pretty sure you are golden!

I plan on doing some off roading, probably start out on the less hard core trails and just work my way up. Its just so much fun to drive ill probably drive in into town quite a bit too :)
