Rim widths for pneumatic tires on CMP were 6" for both 16 (including the tapered beads used on HUP (that were another user of 9.25-16 tires)) and 20 inch rims.
9.00-16 pneumatic cross country tires had diameters from 34.8 to 35.7 inches while 10.25 had diameters from 41.4 to 42.3 inches. In general highway tread tires had slightly smaller diameters than cross country and runflat were at the small end of the range for pneumatics of the same nominal size.
The above is from the AEDB design record.
I don't have any listing for Canadian manufactured military vehicles of the period using high pressure series tires but did find a reference to a trailer used by Canadians that was manufactured by Taskers that used them.
