True statement because of the geometric relationship between the ring and pinion on a 9". The 8" would be ideal except for the fact that it's tough to get that much-desired 5-1/2" bolt circle one desires to match the front of a '50 Merc. MAYBE if you had a disc conversion on front with a 4-1/2" bolt circle, a matching-patterned 8" would be a natural, hands down! DD
