I wonder what the actual difference is in the diameter of a 9.00x16 wheel and tire and an 8.25x20 wheel and tire? The 4" difference in wheel diameter would only provide 2" more clearance. The "rim to tread surface" on the two tires would have to be equal in order to gain those 2". If it's more, then there's more clearance. If it's less, then there is less clearance. Or am I haywire, as I often can be?
In the end, I would think chains on all four wheels will make that truck do what he wants it to do with the 9.00x16s.
