Derek.
The tire in the background looks to be about a 235/75 15 or 16" , if this is true they are about 30-31" tall. That puts the aircraft wheel about 16-18" at a guess.
Also , though likely WWII , don't forget civilian stuff.

Actually, I was thinking it looked more like the front wheel off your Big Wheels, Sean... have you been someplace you shouldn't have been?
