I am going to get new tires and I am going with 33X12.50/R15 and I want to got with a 15X10 wheel but I don't know what the proper off-set is? With the lift that I am running which is the Man-A-Free 4+ shackle reversal kit. So I would like to run a off-set wheel that will still allow me to tuck the tires into the wheel wells without rubbing. I am running a 15X8 wheel now. I don't think that I can run the 33X12.50/R15 on a 15x8 without running the risk of popping a bead. So any help or thoughts on this would be nice thanks.
 
Its the opposite. If you dont want to pop a bead run 15x8's. do a little research on here this question has been asked tons of times. 3.5" or less backspace is needed to play it safe.
 
K thanks for the advice. I am going to stick with my 15X8 that I have now.
 
I agree with 89's rule. I have 33x12.5's mounted on 10" rims. They look cool, but I can't wait to get the tires onto 8" rims. You get a slightly taller/narrower tire with the 8" rim. Right now I get a little tire rub on the inner wheel apron. I am hoping to get rid of that problem with 8" rims. The 10" rims used to have a set of 38 x 15.5's on them, those looked good also... on my 40.

Another vote for 8" with 12.5" tires. I am running 15x8 Americian Racing Mojaves with 3.75" BS and 35x12.5's. I had to readjust the bump stops for steering so the tires would not hit the leafs at full turn. I think ideal would be 3.5" BS but like how mine don't stick out as far.
