Not when you figure in the wheel width. The 7" wide wheels have 5.25" BS while the 8" wide wheel has 5.5" BS. My explanation takes into consideration where the center line of each wheel (7" and 8") is. Actually an 8" wide wheel with 5.5" of BS will give you .25" more clearance than a 7" wheel with 5.25" BS but considering the extra "bulge" in the tire on an 8" wheel verses a 7" wheel, it comes out to about the same.
