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...

It migh have one of those shit safety band things inside the wheel which prevent's the wheel coming when the tyre is under pressure.
