Excel rim and tyre size

Hi all, recently acquired an excel rear rim from OTR for my Tenna after the original San Remo decided to go egg shape and wouldn't pull back in. I wanted to match it up to the front excel anyway.

So, after receiving it I realized I'd assumed it would be the same width. OTR have sent me a 2.5 wide rim compared to 2.75 standard.

Besides looking significantly smaller my concern is whether a 140/80/17 tyre will fit this rim. I've always run 130's but they look so skinny I was going to try a 140 next tyre to see what it felt like. I'm hoping it's still possible.

cheers
Brad

P.S. Does anyone know if excel do a larger width excel rim for our Tenna's?
