Tamiya's Mitsubishi Pajero has quite nice semi off-road wheels:

Would some Dakar Tyres help you ?
you may find some in the 405 GR or Pajero 92 kits...
I have both and probably will cast the tyres (in resin, not rubber) for the spare wheels, so if that can help you... and if it's not too urgent...

It's possible to cast them too of course, here is what they look like:

I took a look on the Pajero kit parts, the tyres are the same but the rims are 5 spokes ones, a bit like the rally ones.
