Greetings:

Engine case limits both width and height to 90/90x10. Maybe a very low-profile 12" tire could fit in height, but probably too wide. What is the reason for desiring big wide tire? It adversely affects handling.

i am running a dio style ruckus 10x3 on mine with a 90/90/10 no issues. very close though. for a larger diameter, you would need a sym engine case.

100/60/12 is just about 1/4 in larger in diameter than 90/90/10. So if you split that in half, from the axle it should be what about 1/8 in more required room. Does a 90/90/10 have an 1/8in of room between the tire and case?

Installed diameter isn't the same as running diameter. A 3.50 x 10 fits, but rubs at speeds>55 MPH. Centrifugal "growth". Not sure what if any 12" rim hubs fit the splines.
