You'll be able to air down your 8's a lot more than those 10's.
the 8's keep a bead better.

I got a buddy running 10's with 37's and he doesn't have a problem.  He airs down to about 8-10 psi and they do great.  But user preference i guess.

I ran 37x12.5 ssr's on 10's and I never blew a bead once.  but I never took them below 10 psi because they would have slipped off. ;)
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??

ran my 37" mt/rs on 15x8's down to about 1 psi.. never blew a bead. hell i run 12 psi on the street.. keep the 8's for the 12.5" wide tires. 10's belong on a 15" or wider tire

Ridiculous, but here ya go
a 12.50 on an 8" wheel aired down to 0psi
Not much practical use, but the bead is still there.

Could I get away with running the 37*14*15 Irok on an 8 inch wheel?  Should I step up to a 10 inch wide wheel for that tire?
