That looks like a great deal if the rubber is not cracked from age. Looks like high quality radials on 17" 3 piece rims (optional on '60-'66 C 20's). The 7.50-17" tire is the same diameter as the 8-19.5" tire. Funny how it works, 19.5" combo is more rim, less tire, while the 17" combo is less rim, more tire. This is similar to the big rig truck 22.5" tire and wheel combo is the same diameter of the old 10-20" tire and wheel combo. Be careful lifting these, they are heavy!
