Yes they will fit. If its your daily driver and your conserned about your tires I would go with a wider wheel because putting a 12.50in wide tire on a 8in wide wheel will cause your tread to bow making it wear more in the center of the tire.

x2 I've heard of people running 15.50's on 8" wheels but that's pushing it, IMO.

I ran them on stock 7" wheels and my 38s are 12.50s on 8" rims. Work great.
