Which of these two wheels ( 3.75x8" or 5.5x8" ) should I put a 18x6.5x8" tire on? Or will neither of these two sizes fit the tire? Thanx

but the tire will hang out pased the rim this should not hurt any thing but i am not totaly sure

I would use the widest rim possible, the 5.5. The rim will be narrower than the tire if the rim is 5.5 and the tire is 6.5. This is the way most atv tires are set up, with the tire wider than the rim.
