Default 16x8 or 16x10?

I'm looking to get 33" for me JK soon and was wondering what all of you would recommend for wheel size, 16x8 or 16x10? Any advantages or disadvantages? I don't do a ton of off roading, and never air down.

What width tire?

Since you never air down, I'd say 8" for a 10.50", 10" for a 12.50".

8s no matter what width. 10s look 80s on a 33" tire

Okay...looks...

10.5 is the typical manufacturers recommended wheel width for 12.5" tires because it works better. The user will be able to run higher pressure and retain full contact patch so it will yield both better fuel mileage and tire wear. Handling will also be better.

Guy at 4wheelparts told me to go with the 8's. Probably what I'll go with.

As for looks, I don't know which one I like better. I think if I went with 35's I'd go with 10's.
