This was on that size, but not standard wheels. They fill out the standard arches just right.

Here you go.. These are actually 275 section and sitting on wolfs which in theory are too narrow a rim but in practice they have been fine. As you can see from where this was taken, they have earned their keep.

Tyres are Yoko Geolandars. Good A/T pattern but a a bit soft compound to be a threat to the likes of BFG A/T when it comes to long life. They were good in the sand, fine off road in UK and exceptional on road in my humble opinion.
