i say go with the 15" wheel, they usually run a little cheaper than 16's and 15" tires are easier to come by.

why do you want 10" wide though? a 10" wide wheel with a 31x10.5 will just make the tire look bubbly. an 8" wheel is perfectly fine. you can mount a 12.50" wide tire on a 8" wide rim with no problems at all

i've mounted a set of 35x14.50's on a set of 15x10 rims, and they fit fine.

I almost went with 17's when I built my truck and now I'm so glad I didn't. These trucks just don't look right with bigger than stock wheels IMO. Go with the 15's.

I have 37x12.50-15 tires on my 4Runner with 15x10 rims and it looks good. (sorry, no pictures)

What size tire are you wanting to run?

How much lift?

Generally, fitment issues are going to be exaggerated with 10" wide rims

iam going with a 4inch lift kit , and plan on running 325/60/15 bf goodrich m/t's. if i go with 16 i have no idea what size tires. i really dont want to run 33's because the 3.0 is gutless already and dont want to regear etc..., and 31's- i have now and want a little bigger, and 32's are very limited , a friend of mine is running 31/10.5/15 goodyear a/t's on 15x10 alocoas and looks good i guess i will go with 15 inch rims a perfect tire for 15x10 iam thinking would be like a 32/11.5/15 on 15x10's but no one makes it , 15x10's dont really stick out that much more from 8's and 10's will make the rig a little more stable , if anyone can post a picture that would be great !!!!

15" rims will give you more tire options. 16x10's will give you a higher unsprung weight.

also depends on you budget.. 31x10.50's on a 10" wide rims would look like crap IMO...Like TC said you are gonna have some rubbage issues more than likley. With IFS it would be hard to find the correct backspacing with a 10 wide rim.

Well, in all fairness I also am running 36" tires. I was thinking I might want a bigger rim to fill the tire out a little more but I've since seen a truck running like that around town and I didn't like it. Not to mention it would have cost almost $50 more per rim and $50 per tire.
