Default will an 8in wide rim work?

Ok, im looking at getting some wheels and slick for my truck, I wana run the hoosier quick time pro 29x11.50 15, thay advertise 10in tread width ,will these tires work on a 8in wide rim? i just hate the off set on a 10in wide rim. Has anyone run 10in wide slicks on a 8in rim? if so was there any bad tire wear? any pics would be great too. thanks.

my dad runs a 10 inch slick on a 15x8 prostar, (nova) 2 seasons and no abnormal tire wear, hope this helps

ps, the tire will bulge out a little more because its wider if you are lowered it might pose a problem

Thanks for the input, the truck just has shackels so that shouldnt be problem.
