Add 1" to the rim width for the weld on beadlock. This is what I have gotten with both TSL "SX" and IROKs on weldon's. So an 8" rim becomes 9", a 9" becomes a 10" well you get the picture.

So just subtract the amount of space you need on the front side (the hub length) in your case 5.25 inches. So 8" rim + 1" for weld on beadlock - 5.25 font space required = 3.75" BS
If you start with a 9" rim you can do 4.75" BS

I would take off an extra 1/4" so the hub is inside and protected from rocks, so 3.5"BS for an 8" rim.
I have 8" eaton steelies with 3.25" BS that I did weld on beadlocks and the hubs are nice and protected.
