rims
Yes, its common practice here for restorers to have their CMP rims turned down 1/4" in diameter to accommodate the U.S. spec 900x 16's , it doesn't seem to cause any structural harm to the rim . I have never heard of a rim collapsing .
It's a odd fact that the post WW2 Dunlop T24 RF tyres were made to the U.S .specs . The Ferret alloy rims are slightly smaller in the bead diameter than the wartime steel version .
