I can't decide weather to go with 15x8 or 15x10 with 33 12.50 tires. What would be the pro's and cons if any. Plus what is the minimum amount of backspace recomended?
i like 10" wide, has a nice stance. guys will say the real off roaders run 8 cuz the bead stays sealed under lower pressure. this is true, but i ran what you're talking about w/ 10 wheel, aired to 9psi, and never lost a bead.
as for width, i like the look of really fat tires, how they come off of the rim, but it is all about the looks basicly, unless you air down to 5-10 PSI regularly
i would definitely run a 8" wide wheel. it will hold the bead better and is cheaper.
unless you plan on going to 13.50's (or wider) eventually then i would get the 15x8. my buddy has a YJ with 15x10's and 12.50's and they stick waaay out.
yeah im worried about the depth too. I don't want the centers real deep. Plus im thinking about going with the Dick Cepek DC1's and I think it would look well you know too blingy. They only have 3.65 backspacing is the larger the backspacing the better or is it the other way around.
I have the Eagle Alloy look-a-likes. Mine have 3.25" back spacing and they look great.
They can be had for ~$100/each at most places.
