A custom sized piece of wood to act as a spacer on the back side set-up. Something to span both sides of the straight sided 'inside'. Resting on both bottom rims and high enough to "properly" provide a base for the bead-breaker to work against (on the 'in' side of the rim). Might work?

Unless you have some especially specific conditions you ride in, I'd always recommend sticking with what they designed the bike for, and the tyres/rims they designed for the bike.

If you only rode in deep mud ever, then yeah stick big tractor treads on, but then it will handle like sh** on hard surfaces and at speed.

If you only ride on soft sand, then use nice round cross section tyres with lots of small bumps, or what they call a paddle.

If you are always in rocky conditions then it depends how fast you want to go, and how likely the tyres are to get damaged.

 

Snow and ice I know nothing about..  Happily. I don't like cold.

That's what I was thinking ,Mech, always best to stay with oem ,had customer chew me out ,that their new wheels would be not safe and I wouldn't install for no matter how much they give me.
