Just so you know, those "8 bolt" rims are only suposed to be used with the
older bias ply tires. The radial tires should only be used on the newer "12
bolt" rims. The reason for this is that the "8 bolt" rims have a smaller lip
that was designed for the lower tire presures used with the bias ply tires.
The lip isn't deep enough to safely retain the bead of the radial tires when
fully inflated. When the military switched to the radial tire, they had to
make a new rim with a deeper lip. You might want to sell the rims and tires
separately or put a disclaimer on your current auction about the mismatch.
