15X7 is better.

8's are OK, but I think you'd be happier with 7's

I also agree.

At low pressure the 8" rim doesn't have enough of a "clamp"? On the bead of the tyre so the beads get full of dirt/rocks/wood and the tyre can more easily come off.

If I had 31's again they'd be on -38 7" rims.

Get any old second hand 15x7's and give 'em to me. -40 15x7's look pretty cool

I got five of the last nine that LROR had (pretty sure another member got the last 4), but there are other places that sell them.
