You can pick up a 22.5" rim with the six bolt pattern at most large wheel
places. I priced some a while back and they were about $90 a rim. That's
the tubeless equivalent to a 20" rim, I think. For the price of replacing
the rims and tires on my M35 I decided to stick with the 9.00 by 20" NDT I
have. I now have about 15 extra tires and that will take a while to go
through.
The rims on my deuce are something like 7.5" wide and 20" in diameter. I
think the 9.00 has something to do with the height to width ratio.
Generally speaking you can't put a tubeless tire on a tube rim and vise
versa. They do it that way on purpose.
I'm no expert and I have forgotten more that I remember.

the M35's 6-bolt pattern are these which you see on small (isuzu etc)city
diesel trucks. Tires are about 16" to 17" rim size,
