Hi Keith.
Your 8" wheels will be fine, the only thing to be aware of is that most 8" wheel tyres are only rated to 60mph, no problem with that for UK use, as you are restricted to that speed, but if you ever decide to go over to France, you are permitted to tow upto 80mph, I went for a trailer with 13" car size wheels, as my use is mostly for France, although the trailer I went for was available with either 10" or 13" wheels, the only downside with larger wheels is that the trailer will sit higher, and could obscure your rear view maybe.
Andy.

Thanks Andy,
Was not aware of towing speed in France was higher, we did contemplate either Germany or France this year, though it looks like we are of to sunny Dorset and several weekends away.
Cheers
