right.  well.  i just went out and measured the rim on the spare carrier to
the rear of the Scout.  my best measurement (very old beat up tape measure,
i can't find my new *good* one) puts it at close to four and an eighth
inches for the centre hole.  just a hair under that, actually.  i checked
the wheels mounted on the rear axle too, for verification, same measurement.
a shade under four and an eighth inches.

now, granted, these are not original Scout rims.  i don't know what they
came off of, but they fit the Scout axles (most importantly, all five wheels
will fit over the large Warn locking hubs on the front axle), and they fit
the 1010 TravelAll too.  i'd say they have the same measurements as stock
Scout wheels.

oh, i almost forgot.  the wheels on the 800 and the 800A were compleatly
interchangeable; the 800 had the same 15" white spoked wagon wheels as the
1010 has.
