I have 8.50x6.00 tires on my 801. I had problems with flat tires until I modified the rim to accommodate a normal 8.50x6.00 tube. There are not 8.50 tubes that I could find with the 90 degree stem. The manufacture of the rim had a site that showed how and where to drill the hole. I did it 3 years ago so the site may no longer exist. If you need some pics let me know.
There is about 1/4" of clearance between the tire and the gear legs. I'm not sure you could go much wider without re-engineering the wheel and brake attachment.

Subject: 801 Tire Clearance
801 People,
I haven't started my fuselage yet so I don't know the answer to this
question. What is the clearance between the wheels and the gear legs?
Both the mains and the nose. I assume 8.50 tires will fit, but I am
curious if anything larger will. If anyone knows, I would appreciate
knowing too.
