I recently bought Michelin XY 9.00-16 tyres and they fit the 15-cwt CMP rims without modification:

There are variations between manufacturers, so I would say it is best to buy tyres, then see if they fit. If they don't, apply one of the options mentioned above.
The main reason I posted Jim Ritchie’s experience is that I asked a friend who had his rims turned down / machined, how it was done and how much was taken off. They man that did the machining for him no longer does this work but he followed the guideline above.
