Flip rim in the top photo over. Lay a yard stick across the rim after you flip it over looking at the inside. Measure down to the mounting surface from yard stick for back space. You get a more accurate measurement this way.
They looked like 8 wide inch rims maybe 8.5. Usually rims measurement is from the inside of the lip for width.
Some one knows more than I.

Default spare

I think I have the spare you are looking for but I am in Southern California. I picked it up from a guy that had it for a spare but never used it. There is a 35" tire on it now so I am not sure of the width but it is a 17" and looks exactly like the picture.

I'm in Canada so it might be cheaper to get a new one instead of shipping, I don't need a tire just rim. If u decide to de mount tire and see if its also 8" and backspace I'd be interested
