I recommend the Westlake 215/75R17.5 Radial Tire w/ 17-1/2" Wheel - 8 on 6-1/2 - LR J - Black # LHAS701. This is a wheel and tire combo that comes with radial tires and a sharp looking aluminum wheel. The wheel has an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern that has a 4,805 lb capacity when inflated to 125 psi.

To ensure that you have an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern check out the link I attached.
