The 15x8 size is much more common then the 15x10. Most people choose to run the 15x8's over the 15x10 because they are affordable and the offsets keep the wheel and tire from sticking out too far beyond the fenders.

Running any tire on any wheel that is less or more than ideal can have an effect on your tires wear and the amount of heat your tire generates. The more heat that is generated in your tire the faster they can wear and the higher the chance for uneven wear. In extreme cases, often coupled with other issues like, bad alignment, lack of rotations, suspension issues and improper tire pressure, it could contribute to belt shifting or tread separations.

No matter what tire and wheel you choose to run it is important to maintain them and your vehicle properly.

Are you looking for a 15x10 JkallBlack?

Default Here are my MB72s

35x12.5x15 BFG KM2
15x8 MB72 wheels
Teraflex 2"f 1"r spacer lift kit

I flexed it out as much as I could with a big floor jack and it is nowhere close to rubbing anywhere. Only had to trim the air dam under the stock bumper

Thanks in advance!
It really depends on the manufacturer. There seems to be a decent amount of demand for 15" tires these days. I think part of it is because so many Jk owners are now running them. Tire manufacturer's have been a little slow to keep up with it. Give us a call if we can help you with a specific tire, we'll be happy to call the manufacturer for an accurate ETA.
