Could probably get a set of 295's mounted on an 8" wheel, but not sure how comfortable I am with that...

I just looked at 4 295/50R15 tires on 1010 Tires ( 295/50R15 Tires | 295-50-15 Tire Size Online at 1010Tires.com ) and they all show minimum rim width as 8". So, yes you can - but it may not be optimal.
