I see alot of people going with a 15 by 8 inch with 5.5 backspace, I guess you could run a 15 by 10, thats what I want. But you might need to trim depending on the tire.

I just went through the same thing.your 4 bolt is a 4.25. As far as your wheel size I went with eights over tens just because the the biggest tire you can fit comfortably is a 275 and even with that you will need to beat the hell out of your inner fender to stop it from rubbing.As I was ordering tires I noticed that they didnt suggest using 275 tires on anything bigger than a 9.5 wheel. Its probably a pain in the *** to get the bead set.Good luck!

I had 275's on mine with the quads and didnt beat anything they fit fine, it was tight but they didnt rub.
