front tire size question

[joeu235]

My Ford 5600 has 10-16.5 skid steer tires on the front and I want to switch back to ribbed tires because the steering in mud is terrible.
The owner's manual says 10.00-16 tires were originally an option. Do you think 10.00-16 is what the rims were originally designed for and will they fit?

Thanks

Hopefully if it has 16.5 inch tires on it it has 16.5 inch rims. You will need 16 inch rims for 16 inch tires. Rim size is usually stamped on the visible surface of the rim (not the center disc).

I found the stamp. 16.5 x 8.25. I can't imagine these are original rims. Thanks!

I am sure they are not original.
