Default tire wheel question

I bought a pair of MT 315/30/18's I wont to get a set of matching wheels but the crays only come in 10.5. Is that to small for the tire? I've got 305 Invo's on my 10.5 and it looks good. These MT look HUGE.

???? Will 315 MT mount on 10.5 wheel?

The tire is designed for a rim width of 11" to 12". The tire will mount on a 10.5" width wheel, but a 11" to 12" wheel width is recommended.

In general, the rim width whould be about the same as the tread width.
