Stock offset is 42mm.  Knowing that, finding a rim of that offset & a width of 8" is going to be hard.  You have to be cautious of rubbing the shock and inner wheel well.  Why not run a slightly wider tire?

I am looking into having a couple 8 inch rims made.

I have 195/60/15's on a 6 inch rim......I would be interested to find some "stock" 7 inch rims but have not had any luck.

I think the stock crosslaces are 7.5, not sure.  Altough they are 16" so that might not be what you're looking for.

wrong there cheif the crosslaces are 15" rims and are 7" wide

15x7

GTZ rims would be 16x7

[beretta5]

yes, I need 15's...rules state that is maximum.

are these "crosslacing" steel or aluminum?

[1988GTU]

Aluminum.

What about the Z-51 steel wheels? those are 15x7 I think, you might want to look into those.

did a search, but could not find anything on a z51?

The factory steel 15s (all) are 6.5" wide
