Thought you meant it was 8" in diameter as in just a jockey wheel

That one posted is probably 16" by 4" odd with an 8" hub.

We sell them too for about £15 for the whole wheel

Well it hasn't got a fuel tank, so you should be safe

you can try, it takes quite a lot of force to pop the bead on some though, last time i removed a tyre i just put a jigsaw through it and cut the sidewall so it peeled off

I would just take it to a tyre place. For the sake of £5 or so for fitting and balancing, it's not a great expense really in the grand scheme of things and at least you know it'll be done properly...
