Go with the 15X8" thats the set up I run and love it and so does everyone else I've talked to. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Hey Gui, its Blair. What's up? Haven't seen you or heard from you in a while! I've got my 33 TSL's on 15x8 rims and I air em down to 8lbs and haven't lost a bead yet. My brother has em on 15x10 rims and only lost a bead when they leaked out to 0lbs. So either way you should be fine.

Thansk for the info!

Thanks everybody for the great tips. I am probably going to install in the 8" range, so it will work pretty well on lower PSI.

Thanks again!

Another vote for 10's...wide footprint...great for 35's or 36's

Stick with 10's. Half the people I know have been switching from 8's to 10's lately to gain those 2 inches of extra track width.
