I like the way 7" wide rims look and sit. A 235/75 tyre fits nicely on them and is about as big as will fit on standard suspension (with a little tweaking, cutting and folding of seams)

Most wheel / tyre suppliers can get them.

I just happen to have a set of four for sale too.

4x4 tyres and accessories at leeming bar usually have a good selection of wheels. Got my other set of 15x7s from them.

Do that. Bargain! And on RUF they should fit ok. May foul the bulkhead a bit.

Axle should sit slightly forward on RUF and if you redrill the saddles you can get another 25mm.
