Camper Tire & Wheel combo of the 70s

Does anyone recall the camper wheel and tire combo that was very common in the late 60’s and 70’s. The rear tire was quite wide, mostly filling the tube. The wheels were steel, painted white and likely 10 inches wide. May have been 12 but I doubt it. I recall the tire being 10 ply bias with a tread more suitable for highway than off road with a very high for the times load rating. Intended for camper hauling, seems most trucks pulling that duty had these wheels in the So. Cal area. Unsure of other parts of the county. I know Winton Tire, a So Calif tire dealer at the time, seemed to be the place I last purchased in mid eighty’s before I sold the truck. Is there a set up that closely resembles this combination tire wheel set up? Most setups I see today have more of a off rad appearance I am trying to avoid. I really liked the look and trying to duplicate. My search is not yielding much success.
