Americana Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20016 is 5-3/8-inches wide. The 18x9.5-8 tire size you referenced need a 7-inch wide rim to mount and seal correctly. The link provided will show you several options in 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern 8-inch rims that are 7-inches wide. The one most similar to the part you referenced is # AM20026.
