wheel/tire match question

Here within the next few days I am going to be buying some new wheels. I know the diameter,bolt pattern etc but needed the width. So I got my tire size went to the manufacturers web and looked it up. It showed for the tires I have (remington wide brute 315/75R16) that rim width was 9.5". I looked and looked for a 9.5" wheel which was a pain to find and expensive. Then I decided to look for tires and found out that on specs it shows "minimum wheel size 8"----maximum wheel size 10"....Does this mean that even though the "rim width" of the tire I have is 9.5" I could still use a 8" or 10" wheel?

Also I tried to look for the wheels I currently have at american racings web and they did not come in 9.5" only 8" and 10" so im guessing thats the way to go?

you got it, either run a 10" or 8" wheel, 8" will tuck the tire under the truck more and give you more sidewall bulge protectiong the wheel from rocks etc....

its up to you which one you choose
