do any of the alloy 15" come in 10"wide, are they better for airing down, or is the 8" the better for airing down.

We carry one(1) 15x10 that works, see below for details.

15x10 (4" BS) Black Rock D-Window Alloy | Discount Tire Direct

As for rim width, and assuming the tire is 12.50" wide, the consensus is the narrower 8" width will help prevent loosing a bead while aired down. I haven't seen any tests comparing a 10" wide wheel to an 8" wide wheel while aired down, so it's tough to say. For on-road handling and maximum tread life, a 10" wide wheel is best for a 12.50" wide tire.

The D-Window Alloy is the only wheel model we offer in the 15x10 size at this time.

Default Several years back...

Y'al helped me, with a set of 15" MB's and 12.50 duraTracs on an 07 JK.

I now have a '15 Rubicon JK. I would again like to install some 33x12.50-15. I am running 3.73 gears, thta being the reason for 33's.

TPMS monitors are a MUST have also. Can you help me out once again, PLEASE?
