Bearings are sized to fit the housing they are in and the shaft/fitting they drive. If what you need is 8x16x5, then nothing else will substitute unfortunately.

Here you go >> https://jimsbearings.com/collections/8x16x5

Bearing have their Inside Diameter (ID), Outside Diameter (OD) and Width (W).

So you cant use the 8 x 19 x 6 as - The inside diameter is fine but you would have to widen the bearing holder exactly and then deepen it by 1mm. Which aint worth it for a $1-$2 bearing.

As Hector stated, if you need a 8 x 16 x 5 then that is the part you need. Nothing else will fit. Grab one of those. Super cheap and great bearings.
