for an 8 in rim, these look shallow, what kind of backspacing are these? That will help determine tire size.

with 8" you could probably go up to a 255 or maybe even 265 depending on the profile you go with. How tall do you want the tire to be, as this will make a difference in what profile you are looking for.
