The Effects of Changing From 8R19.5 to 225/70 19.5 Tires | It Still Runs (https://itstillruns.com/effects-8r195-22570-195-tires-7440499.html)
Great. We have measured our spare tire wheel and measure 7". Could this be right ? Stock wheels for the original 8R would have been 5.25" ??? Are we measuring rim to rim ? Or is there an inside rim measurement that is being used ?
The correct rim width measurement is tire bead to tire bead. So if the outside width of the rim is 7in , the bead will be about 1 in or a little less like 5.5 or 6 in.
Googlate it , should be pics.
