Halo components in the UK do some wide rims for rim brakes in 26", 27.5" and 29". Their SAS is 26 or 27.5" and 30mm internal width. Their T2 is 29" and 26mm internal width. I think they have some other models too.
I have the SAS 27.5" on my single speed MTB. I was worried they'd feel heavy (760g) but not so far. They did squeal a bit because the braking surface needs to bed in, otherwise no problems. Currently running 2.8" WTB Rangers with tubes. Not tried tubeless setup yet with these. I like the Rangers a lot in that size, but seems like they are getting hard to find, at least here in the EU.
