How wide with the tires

If you putting those on the 8" wide Welds, it'll be just fine. A little bulge. Nothing to worry about. I just wouldn't put them on 7s.

So many times I have seen 26x10.5x15 or 28x10.5x15 on 15x8" (that's what most people use--from what I've seen--if they buy Welds) Welds and no real problems. I've even seen those 275/50/15s on 15x7" rims on a GN. Now that was too bulgy for me, but on 15x8 (they are "offically" rated for at least 8.5" wide rims, though) it'll be okay.
