15x8 would be a downgrade with 31's as they won't hold the bead as well at low pressures. I have used reinforced rubber sheet cut into strips for flares, works well and a lot cheaper than the flash moulded ones from repco and won't try and rip off your guards like bunnings garden edging does when it gets hit.

I got it from Para Rubber their website says there is a couple of stores in Auckland. Tubes will help but I have run 31's on 8" rims with tubes before and it isn't hard to knock a bead off although I did run quite low pressures (5-8psi)
