why do you need 10inch wide rims?
You can get any size rims in theory..

Priced the 17's, well there now ruled out, @ $200 extra each per rim, and $100 plus each extra per tyre

I think you will stuck with them for a long time because most tyre makers are only going to my 37s for 17 inch rims and bigger. The new BFG KM2 is a good example of this , there new KM2 37s are only available for 17, 18 and 20 inch rims sizes.
