I currently have a set of 33X12.5X15 Daytona Tires and am looking to get rims to fit them as I like the tire size and will be running with this size on my 76'CJ5. Questions: Wheel Bolt Pattern for a 76 CJ5? Wheel Size Options - will 15X8's work? 15X10's? Aprec. any advice.

The bolt pattern for all CJ's is 5x5.5.  That means 5 lugs 5.5" apart.  I am not sure if a 10" wheel would fit without wheel spacers.  Check out American Racing or Pro Comp's Steel Wheels.  I have always been partial to a Jeep with black steel wheels.

As for the tires.  You will almost definately have to atleast lift it with shackles.  I had a 78 CJ5 but I only ran 31s and had no issues.

many off roaders use 8's so either will be fine, the 10's definately will work.
like shull said, 5 on 5.5. jeep, ford. using the pro comps you shouldn't need any wheelspacers, you can get the proper backspacing.

On my truxus 34x12.5-16's it say's right on the tire that the recomended wheel size is 8"

Appreciate the advice. Sorry I wasn't clearer on things. My 76 CJ5 currently has a 4" lift and already has 33"X12.5"X15" Tires with a set of chrome rims which while nice, would not look as sharp as a set of blacks. I just did not know which rim size would fit the current tires as the chromes do not have any markings to indicate. It will be on road mostly and off road on weekends but nothing too serious yet. I was not sure whether I should get 15X8's or 15X10's or another rim size is needed to fit the tires I currently have? Appreciate the bolt pattern size info. Thanks for your advice.
