The cab and fenders fit over original tires that were about 36-38” tall.
A 9R22.5 tire is 38” tall, they would fit difficult to find wheels from some 56-59 Chevy 1.5 tons, 10 lug on 7.25 pattern. Some newer GM trucks like the 3500HD (I-beam front axle) and some P30 and similar chassis used this pattern with I-beam or independent front.

An 8R19.5 tire is 32” tall and fits easy to find wheels with same 10 lug or normal 8 lug on 6.5”, 1 ton pattern. Ed wasn’t sure these existed factory/stock in 8 lug, but they do, I have a set on my 1 ton GMC.

The above is all about dual type wheels.
