First of all, it isn't a 900X16 rim. It's a 16X6.5, 6.5" wide. It wall mount anything from 7.50 to 8.25 to 9.00 to 10.50 to 11.00-16 or R16. An 11.00R16 is about 11" wide, 38.7" tall, easily mounts to the rim, and won't rub even on full lock rockcrawling maneuvers. Same size is the 38.5-11.00-16 Bogger. Borderline tires would be 36 and 38" tall 12.5" wide Swampers (the width vis-a-vis the rim). The most borderline of all would be a 325/85R16 Michelin XML. It's 12.8" wide, 38,7" tall, spec'd at 9" wide rim, and cost $700. Each.
