A 140 will NOT fit on a 2.50" rim. Even a 130 is pushing it to the limit. The ideal size for a 2.50" is a 120/80, which is the 'normal' choice for off-road riders typically using this size of rim.
Well actually they do have other sizez Pleiades...

I've looked into the specs of my rear Talon/Excel wheel.
it's a 3.0x17 with 36 spokes.

I run 130/80 by the way
