Which rims/wheels?
Fixing to lift my Bronco and plan to get some new rims and tires. Currently running stock 15x8 wheels and 31' Maxxis Bighorns.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

i wheel my rig and when snow wheeling will air down below 10lbs at times and a 10" wheel just wouldnt work well. you could run a different 8" wheel with a 3"-3.75 backspacing to gain a wider look.
pay close attention to the overall weight of the tire, Toyo's for instance are a very heavy tire. also note that the KM2's are getting hard to get in a 15" rim size. if you can you might consider going to a 17" or 18" wheel.

Maybe even just a 16 inch. I have 15's on ol TGM and i got them 35s put on. When i was talking to the guy at Discount tire, he mentioned that the 15 inch rims are harder to buy for cause no one really makes tires for them as much. I like my MTR kevlars, their pricey but i have heard a lot of offroaders use them a lot.

15" tires are getting fewer as everyone has said. I agree that if you plan on new wheels and tires that itd be smart to go up to a 17" rim or so.
