They will fit on the 8" rim fine. Just be careful when airing down. You don't want to go to low & loose a bead. JIM.

yea, ideally with 9.5 youd want a 7 inch rim to wheel aired down, however, 8 gives you a wider range should you ever want to go bigger and wider

Perhaps someone else can confirm, but I think it's cheaper to get tires for 15x7, as that size is more common than the 15x8. The savings on the rims may quickly disappear once you look for tires... Just double check.

A 7 in rim will pull the sidewalls in more; less chance of sidewall puncture.
