IMHO get 15X8 so when you upgrade your tyres you won't need bigger rims.

15X8 are under the radar as far as insurance and rego goes too.

My 10.5" specified rim width is between 7" and 9". I'm getting 15x8" soon though, as they bulge out a touch more on a 7" wide rim.

As said previous, if you decide on a 33x11.5/12.5 later on, a 15x8" will probably keep you covered.

10.5 are fine on 7" or 8" rims. If you plan on running wider later go the 8" rim.

7" are easy and cheap to score secondhand for most vehicles.

15x10s are waaay too big.
and as stated
the 15x8s allow you to upsize and still keep the rims.
value for money wise its not a bad thing.
