Never had a problem like this, but then again I have only ever dealt with UK companies like those mentioned above.
If they won't/can't send drawings, could you perhaps do a drawing of the wheels yourself with the dimensions you know, then mark the dimensions you would like to know on the drawing - e.g. radial clearance in the plane of the mounting face and minimum clearance from the mounting face to the back of the spokes, then fax them the drawing and ask them to add dimensions?
If they say no to that, then I would probably choose another supplier. Image can almost certainly make wheels to your spec, and have a drawing you could work from:

Good luck with the Japanese supplier!
