It will work, a 15x8 is "ideal" but what is considered ideal to me is more along the lines of what will fit around your fenders and radius arms vs. the stance.
Tbars4 has a nice setup on his Ranger with 32x11.5, I did the same on my 94 with 32s and just a body lift and Paul Gagnon has these 33s on his truck. I think the "super stock" look is sweet, even more sleeper and you can spend the money on mods that get you further down the trail.
