yes, 20" unimog 404 rims fit (9" wide) means you can fit 10.5r20 tyres if you can find some at sensible money.  We ran these on our truck when we drove down to Capetown. 

Need to space out the front wheels though else the rims rub ont eh ball joint rubbers at the end of the drag link.

I didn't find the Mog rims quite rubbed on the ball joints, until I fitted the Zeus discs at which point one did.  I swapped the rims around a bit and found one which didn't rub.  We're talking military tolerances here!

I had 10.5x20s on mine (so 41" diameter);  it was a bit tricky to find tyres to fit but I know a guy who can supply that size in A/T or M/T type tread patterns if you're interested.  They were a lot better than the bar grips.  With tyres that size it went over anything.  I put some vids on Youtube but can't find them now!
