I am runnning 9.00X16 on my WC40 and my impression is that with the 7.50s the truck is just too slow. I have 4.89 gears and the truck pulls just fine with the bigger tires. You cannot use the 5.5" wide rims with the 9.00X16 tires. I got a set of 6.5" split rims from a 53 flat fender. I definitely would not go back to the 7.50X16 tires.
