At the times when it was difficult to buy rubber tires, it was common to relace the hub with rims that where easier to find tires for. But your tire seems to come from a Chief.
Just a note, but I have read in some Indian brochure that Chief wheels could be ordered as an option on the Scout (dammit I yet have to find it again in my albums) so it should be regarded as original in a judging! I would advice against using clincher tires in all type of riding with the bike. Chief had 19" normal wire bead tires from 29-30 so there's your option if you want larger tires.
A tip is to start a new thread whenever a new category question arise. And write a related but short headline starting with the main issue. (Just an example: Rims Clincher 19") That makes searching in the archives easier for those that wants to backtrack what is written earlier.
