I don't remember seeing many trailers with 8" tires, which I have only seen on Vespas and those Indian-made Bajaj tricycles. Most trailers I see use tires with a more regular size, either something around 165/70 R13 and 175/70 R13 that are the few 13" radials still found quite easily here, or the 5.60-15 bias-ply still easily found because of the VW Beetle.

Harbor Freight's entry-level utility trailer, with 800-pound cargo capacity has the 4-lug, 8" diameter wheels.
Their 5-lug, 1,300-pound cargo capacity has 13" bias-ply, which I hope can accept the 13" radial-ply trailer tires when it's time.
That first trailer had actual 5.5"X 13" wheels and tires from the Honda. You could buy an entire set from Discount Tire, mounted and balanced for $ 134. 165 70 SR /13 all-season, 60,000-mile treadwear, made by Kelly Springfield, which is owned by Goodyear.
