depends on what it is going to be used for and how wide you want your wheel track.
15x10 rims are the best, but 15x8 rims will do just fine.

eh why arae 15x10 rims the best? on a 12.5 wide tire might keep popping beads on a 10 inch rim at low pressure?

as it gives the car a wider stance which makes it more stable after it has been lifted.
More likely to pop beads on 15x8s than 15x10 rims.
If you keep popping beads on 15x10s then its time for beadlocks.

15x8's are better for holding the tire on rim at excessively low pressures
but 15x10's normally make the tire sit better on the road as in it doesn't bulge in the middle because the sides are too thin. (but that depends on the tire type and brand).

I run 35x12.5 on 15x10 rims and go as low as 12psi and they're fine
1 of my mates has same tire on 15x8 goes as low as 10psi and has no probs popping beads

but mine has less wear on the middle of the tire assumably from the wider rim we both run 35psi on road (max tire pressure)

My BFGs i run 10psi on 15x8 rims,
have never popped a bead yet.
But would like to go a 15x10 rim for the wider stance and more stability.
