With 8's you will have a hard time seating the tires.
Narrow is good. 7" is the widest I would go... 6.5 would be a good choice for a 9.50 tire

agreed. with a wider rim, it's easier to blow a bead too.

I agree with what was said above but if you want to got the cheapest route, use your existing wheels and run tubes. No problem seating the tires and less chance of breaking a bead.
