With a 2-3" lift I'd go with the stock (or aftermarket) 15"x8" wheels with the 33"x12.50" tires. I've always ran 33x12.50 on 8" wide wheels on my jeep for years... It's a perfect size / width combination. I think they just looked a little stretched on a 10" wide wheel. Also, if you stick with a 15" wheel you can save a little $ on tires... Generally the same size tire will be cheaper in a 15" diameter than some of the newer more popular larger wheel diameters (16"-20"+).
