I really think that 33x10.50 on an 8" wide wheel would be ideal.
I went with 33x13.50 on 10" wide wheels and I don't regret it...
Although, with the amount of triming I had to do just to accommodate the amount of tire protruding past the body, I think I could've just left some of the bumpstop on and fit 35x12.50s with the same amount of fender removed.
If you have lower control arms to re-center your tire in the fender well, I think you can fit 32x11.50 or 33x10.50 on 8" wide wheels with little to no triming.
