I do not think you are going to find mudder tires in 22.5 size. If you do, check your wallet because they will be comercial tires with a huge price tag.

Those are super single rims they do not make a mud tire just a drive tire. The price for one tire is 1200.00 plus mounting.

Re: 22.5x12.25 or 14.00

What you have is "widow makers". They split in the center. If you look around you can find some 22.5x7.5 tubeless wheels that will fit your axles. 60's and 70's GM heavy duty trucks have this bolt pattern known as a "motor wheel". I work at a tire shop in Tacoma WA and have 3 of the tubeless wheels right now (the 4th was damaged). Don't know of anything wider because the trucks GVW wasn't very high. The tire that would fit this wheel would be a 10R22.5 (40" high) or you could squeeze a 11R22.5 (around 42" high).

great thanks for the info I have not decided yet what im doing Im going tomorrow to take photos of this back woods utility truck with wide monster rims and tires just like im lookin to do Im sure its a 10 bolt Im going to see if they have tire size on it or rim size I will measure and take photos I don't think they are working so I hope its still where I saw it parked I didn't have a camera with me at the time. If nothing else I could always cut my rims up and weld the centers to the monster rims I think they look like 40-44s and also this is a 4x4 K50 I can always put a lift on it to raise it if needed It has 16 leafs on rear and 7 on front now they used it to haul water to fires in the mountains will keep all posted on the progress. I have not got to talk to a bro that turned me on to a monster truck builder going to see his opinion on the matter its going to happen it may take a lot of coin to do it LOL
