15x10's w/ 33's

Does anyone have any pics of 15x10's with 33's Im getting a 3" BL but i cant decide between 15x8 or 15x10's i want em to stick out past the fender flares but i dont want to have to crank the t-bars alot for the 15x10's because that will give stiff ride.

Don't get 15x8's. I thought they would be fine but they're too skinny for what I wanted. They make the tires look smaller.

Here's 33x12.50x15's on 15x8's as compared to ^^^ his which seem bigger.

Ya know, its the color of your wheels which make the tires seem bigger or not.. not really the actual 15x8... if you have a color thats the opposite of the tire, it'll cause the eye to pick up the brighter color more, and the darker color less

^^^True on a side shot but I'm talking width and how the tire "fills" out with a wider rim. 15x10's look more aggressive to me, they make the tire look wider than they would on a 15x8 (because the extra 2")

sounds good, if i remember correctly thats about perfect for the ranger.

if your going to buy steel wheels, just some advice, they are very heavy and will effect your gas mileage.

if you plan on running a 12.5 inch wide tire then you want at least a 9 inch wheel. a 10 inch wheel will spread the tire out and you will get most of the tread on the road

Nah, actually.. take a fully chrome 15x10, and a fully black 15x10 on a tire, its a load of difference in what it looks like.. part of that applied science junk and whatnot... brings out the meats and makes the edges look bigger with a full black rim.

I may sound crazy, but I'm really not all that crazy
