Jim,
Indeed, anything is possible. This is a company that fused a Spartan Manor
mobile home to the back of an AM-160 Metro (see Crismon pg. 358), but here
are the available sizes as they were "listed":

Tubeless Tires:
7x17.5 on 5.25 rims; 8x17.5 on 5.25 rims; 8x19.5 on 5.25 rims

Tires and Tubes:
6.50x16 on 4.5; 7.00x16 on 5.50; 7.5x16 on 5.50; 7.00x18 on 5.50; 6.5x20 on
5.00; 7.00x20 on 5.00

Is it possible those are 7.50 x 17 tires? I used to run that size and they
are close to (8 x 19.5) or (245x70 x19.5) for the outside dia.  I may be
about to learn something new here.  Thanks Jim A.
