I do have an option for you but 20.5x8.0-10 is an old discontinued trailer tire size no longer made. The closest match we have for this is a 205/65-10, the Loadstar 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM1HP56 is what I recommend.

We don't offer any 10" wheels with 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern unfortunately so the wheels will have to be reused.
