Would these be any use to you?

We used them for our DB880 so they've been laying around for decades. I was going to remove the tyres and weigh them in. They're 6.50 44

These wheels would fit the stud arrangement, although quite tight because the 880 would have had 5/8" studs as compared to the 885 having 3/4" , they will just go on.

It's the overall diameter which could be the problem, the 880 no doubt would have had shell fenders. Can't make a comparison using the chart supplied by @Nearly , it does not list 6.50 x 44.

An 8.3x44 is the rowcrop replacement for a 13.6x36 so I'd say a 6.50x44 is going to be roughly the height of a 12.4x36. If there's over 2 inches of clearance around the standard wheels at the moment they should fit
