what width wheel should be used for a 37/13/15 bogger? 8" wide, 10" wide, ect? i would think 10" would be optimal for a 13" wide tire right?
 
8" will help keep the bead set at lower pressures. I would do 8" rims personally.

It depends on what you want, either an 8" or 10" wheel will work fine. The 10" wheel will make the tire sit wider and shorter, the 8" wheel will make the tire sit taller and more narrow and will hold the bead better.

I'm running 42/14R15's on 8" wheels and will only widen my wheels to 9" for beadlocks.
 
wont running a wide tire on a narrow wheel make the tread wear funny? like the center of the tread will wear faster than the outer edges..?

It could, but not with a 13" wide tire on an 8" wheel. Set the pressure right and you won't have any problems.
