Re: Rim size
8" is better if you regularly run low tyre pressures. Just make sure it has a deep offset,otherwise you might end up with the inside of the tyres fouling on the leaf springs under full lock.
I ran 33"s on 7" rims at one stage and that worked great, except for the tyres rubbing against the leaf springs,because of the offset.
