Every tire manufacture recommends a 8.5" or wider wheel for a 12.5" tire due to proper bead seating but there's alot of people that do it. IMO I don't like the looks of 12.5's on a 8" wheel.
I'll double the comment of the Thornturds, horrible tire on road and off the only thing there good for is making noise they are loud as all get out. On the set I ran one buldged and had to buy a new tire and then I had one fling one of its lugs a year after I bought them.

I had 8inch rims and when I went to 12's they made my tire footprint so much bigger when I air down. Look at my Pic's in my album. Those are 12x15 rims with 31/11.5/15 TrXus AT's...Tj

I got 33x12.50's on a 15x8 rim. They look just about right. When you air down, the beads stay on a bit better than with a wider wheel.
If it's a street pounder, then go with a wider wheel. They look pretty mean being so wide, but don't do as good off-road.
