I've been looking high and low for a few decent, affordable sets of wheels (including spares) for some custom vehicle projects I'm working on, preferably plastic rim-rubber tire combos. One for an MRAP, I need the outside diameter to run 55-60mm (aprox. 2-1/8 to 2-3/8"), with a width around 20-23mm (aprox. 3/4 to 7/8"). Another set for a technical truck about 47-51mm outside diameter (aprox. 1-7/8 to 2") with a width of around 15-20mm (aprox. 5/8 to 3/4").
If anyone could point me in a good direction to find what I'm looking for, it would be greatly appreciated.

I was looking for similar sized wheels/tires and haven't had any luck. nearly every RC 1/18 scale tire is either roughly the same size as PTE humvee's wheel size or in the 3" diameter range which is way bigger than I would like.
PTE Humvee PTE APC wheels are slightly over 2" in diameter I did find an almost perfectly sized tires off of a Tonka Trophy Truck toy at Wallys. The only thing is the tread pattern doesn't scream off road. I have a set that I will measure and take closer pictures of if you'd like. I'm thinking about trying to cast the PTE APC, PTE Humvee, and tonka truck tires. Never casted before so this should be an interesting adventure.
