We've been running 10" wide wheels on our past 3 Jeeps. Main reason is that I wanted the additional width, plus I think the 12.5" wide tires flex better on a 10" wide wheel. I know some say that you'll pop a bead on the wider tire, yet we run ~12PSI and have never (knock on wood) had a blown bead.
I attached a couple of pics of our 15x10 wheels.

15x10 Pro Comp's w/ 3.75" BS
I have about 3" of lift from using Rubicon 19/60 springs and a 1" spacer in the front plus 1/2" in rear.
Here are some pics without the lift. It would have wheeled fine with bump stops to keep the tires from tearing things up. The trimming really opened things up!

No grinding needed. Although I couln't use sticky weights on the inside of the rim.

How do you like the Rubicon express lift? I was thinking of getting the spring and shock kit.
running 35" BFG KM2 on 15x8 MB wheels I am running this combo on a 2.5" Rubicon express coil lift. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=542374"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=542375"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=542376"/>

My 15" Dia 8" Wide Level 8 Punch wheels with -19mm offset wearing 33" x 12.5" Duratracs. Brake caliper clearance in front is OK, about that of a piece of Trident gum. Rear is pretty tight, about that of a piece of Wrigley Spearmint gum. May eventually shave a little off the rear calipers if I get inspired one day.
