The Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with Wheel part # AM30155 measures 18" diameter x 5.9" wide and fits a standard 5 on 4" bolt pattern. The 18.5x8.50-8 tire measures 17.25" diameter x 8.6" wide. Therefore, the new size will be slightly larger in diameter by .75" and smaller in width by 2.7".
I don't know how much space you have but you should be able to use the above to answer your question.
