Question Outlaw II Rims

I have finally come up with the money to replace my ugly stock wheels on my '92 XL 4x4. I have been leaning towards buying the American Racing Outlaw II 15x8 rims. I priced them today.....shipping, installation, balancing, and rims for $473 (Im still comparing price though). I haven't had the money to buy my lift yet....so I want to keep the tires that I currently have until I get a the lift then I will buy bigger tires. My question is: Will 225/75R15 tires fit right on 15x8 rims?

More than likely, a 225 will be way too narrow to fit on an 8" rim. I am running 31x10.5's on my 15x7 Outlaw II rims and they fit pretty well. You'll want to at least put a 30x9.5 on those 8" rims.
