So 15x10" 3.75" BS rim with 31x12.5" tires? It'll probably require minor trimming on the bottom part of the front bumper when in reverse and wheels turned, but nothing major.
Thats a really wide rim and personally makes it look like a ricer(but if thats what your after, go for it) - I would go with 8" personally.

You can run 36s on a 15 x 8 all day.

My best friend is running 39.5" x 15" boggers on 16x8 rims.

well i guess i actually like the wide tire, sticking out look instead of the skinny meats
think it looks badass when the tires are wider then the chassis instead of being swallowed by it.

Yeah, but accomplish that by less backspacing or wider axles, not a wider rim (which won't push the tire out that much). Plus when you air down with a wide-rimmed wheel you'll pop a bead easier.
