Question Wheel & Tire Sizes

I'm looking to upgrade to the 31x10.50R15 tire size for my YJ (after the lift kit goes in). I've currently got the 15"x7" factory wheels, and was wondering what wheel size would be best for that tire size. I spoke to a local tire guy who recommended the 8" wide wheel due to the sidewalls being flatter when mounted; he said the 7" wheel would cause a very rounded sidewall on the tire.

Does anyone use that tire size with the 15x7" wheels? If so, what's your experience with performance (on/off road, abnormal tire wear, etc.)? What about experiences with the 15x8" wheels and 31x10.50R15 tires?

If I do go with the 15x8" wheels, it'll probably be Cragar's Soft 8's in black. Thanks in advance for the advice!
