I have a custom 240 rear wheel that is 240, but it is a 17" rim. If you do not make it do you know a company that does? I am aware that many company make 240/40/18 or 240/40/16 rear tire.

So to answer your question they already have gone to 30" tires. 120/50-26 = 120*.50 = 60 / 25.4 x 2 (2 sidewalls) = 4.72″ + 26″ rim = 30.72″. So to answer your question they already have gone to 30″ tires.

Motorcycle and car tires were surprisingly tall and thin back then. A 26″ tire might look right on a retro (i.e. 1900-1920s inspired) custom if it was used front and back.

What is with the no limit wide-ness? Is it some twisted 2-wheeled equivalent to a "compensating vehicle" ? Odd good point Diesel…

I had not heard of those before either and I kinda keep up on the custom side of things. I think Hotch's Vinnie rear wheel is 23x4 and also uses special VEE RUBBER tires. Ever since I saw 32 and 34 inch car wheels at SEMA, I guess there is no limit (or taste) for some companies.
