Default aftermarket wheels for off-road?

Is it just me, or are there practically zero options for an off-road wheel for the LR2? I'm using my car as both a daily driver and for my climbing business, so I do got off-road often. I've searched practically everywhere, and I haven't found anything in the 16"-18" range that will easily fit. I finally found some KMC 20"x8.5" wheels, but that decreases my sidewall another inch from the 19" I have on there now.

I'm looking at the Goodyear MTR's 255-55/19 . Checking wheel travel and wheel fitment in the wells to see if it will fit.

I got the KMC wheels and went with the Nitto Terra Grappler 265-50/20's. Zero rubbing, no noise on the freeway, and the little off-road I've done they've been great. I'm headed to Joshua Tree tomorrow, then Moab in a week. We'll see how they hold up.

I've been looking for wheels and tires too. By me, there is lots of sand and I would prefer a taller sidewall so I can air down the tires when needed. All of the low profile tires run the risk of cutting the sidewall if you hit a rock after airing down to 15psi.
