its not the width (8" = width, 15" = diameter) u need to worry about.....it's the backspacing....thats the amount of space from the backside of the rim mounting flange to the outside of the rim flange

with a 12.5 width tire, i THINK if u have 4" of backspacing on the rim, u'r good....dont take my word for it tho, im not positive

So as long as I have 4" or below backspacing I will be fine?

right....the less the backspacing (i think stock rims have like 5-5.25" backspace) the further out the tires will stick out

check it....searched "backspacing" on google, 1st result
