Yep. The spares from the mid-eighties GM "full sized" cars were the ones.
Almost the exact size as original, but the tread is different, of course.

I don't know this for a fact, but Cecil Monson used to collect some of 
the "compact" spare tire/rims, from cars that were being junked, for use 
on some of his AC tractors. Frequently the spares had never been on the 
ground and could go for quite a while in typical antique tractor use. 
The trick was finding the ones with the correct lug spacing, but he 
claimed that they worked just fine.
