I run a set of 37"x13" on 8 inch rims that have no beadlocks.
Are you planning on bead locking both sides of the rim ? It can make a big difference.
What do you use the tyres/rims for ?
These and no doubt more things need to be taken into account before you make a decision.
Not much help I know but it might give you something to think about.

The 8s will give you better bead retention on the inside bead.
