Wheel-Tire question

I am looking into buying a set of American Eagle 058's 5x10 and mount 30x9.5R15 tires on them. The would be for my 1990 F-150 X-cab 2WD.
I was told that these would be that biggest tires that would fit?
Would the 5x8 wheels be a better fit? I just like the deep dish on the 10's!

15x8 would work much better for that size tire, I wouldnt use a 10" wide rim for any tire less than 11.5" or 12.5" wide. such as a 33/12.50/15 which personally I would still go with the 15x8.

I agree, an 8 inch wide wheel will work good with the 9.50" tires. I run 15x8's on 10.50" tires and they fit very nicely. I run 10" wheels with my 12.50" tires and they fit perfect. I would not run 10" wheels with a tire 11" or less wide.

I have been reading other posts and most poeple do have the 15X8's. I was also reading that some had 31x10.50R15's on their 4x2's. won't those rub?
