So any 22.5x8.25 rims I can find on marketplace or CL would there be any hub clearance issues?

No. I'm using M939A2 brakes on my M818's front axle with 22.5" x 12.25" steel rims (see pic). I have also used 22.5" X 8.25". I have no clearance issues whatsoever.

You could also look at 24.5” wheels & tires; they fit with no issues.

there are more than a few mfg's still making 20" tube-type radials (and bias) to slap on your existing rims
I bought 6 goodyear G-3xx something or other in 8.25x20 tube-type radials for one of my 1950's IH dumps awhile back , an old-time common profile i did not think i would find anywhere, but there it is...
you shouldn't have any trouble finding 1100x20 tube-type radials , especially if you go through a commercial truck tire dealer ..
If you want to go tubeless, you will have to buy 22.5 or 24.5 rims depending on the height profile you want.. 22.5's are the tubeless variant of tubed 20's .... 24.5's are considerably taller, being the tubeless variant of tubed 22's .. Clear as mud to some

Don’t forget you need stud piloted. They are getting harder to find these days…

YES. Plus getting harder to find in useable condition…the last few 24.5 Budd wheels I obtained for a trailer, when I was snugging up thimbles on inner dual wheel the thimbles punched all the way through the stud hole, rendering the wheel useless. They had looked fine during a visual inspection earlier. I have had about enough of Budd wheels.
