Yes Derek, there are different sized rims. US 16" rims (and US made 9.00-16 tires) are 16" diameter at the bead and have a 5deg bead seat. Uk/Cdn WD 16" rims (and wartime Brit/Cdn tyres)are 16 1/4" dia at the bead and have a 0deg bead seat. Wallace Wade would only stock the US 9.00-16 so if your rims have been fitted with 5 deg tires, you're OK. If you need 0 deg tyres, I doubt you'll find them in the US. You'll have to try MRF Tyres.
PS while you're at Wallace Wade's, ask him if anything more is happening with the 10.50-16 Tyres.
