I apologize if this is a newbie question, but I am a newbie tractor owner.
I am searching for front tire rims. The tires are 16.5x8.5. The 6 lugs have a distance of 6 inches between the holes, across the center of the hub opening.
What is the width of the rim for the current tires and where can I find one to purchase?

Something is not adding up????
16.5 x 8.5 or 8.5 x 16.5 are not a tractor tire sizes, heck they are not even a truck size tire.

Your front tires should be 7.00 - 16 (if they are ag tires) according to the Work Shop Manuel.

Take a picture of the side of your current tire showing the size and attach the picture(s) (attach files) to the post.

Y'all are right. I got lost in the numbers I was reading on Amazon and Ebay, and forgot what the actual tire size is. Here is a picture of the tire.
Thanks for your patience and insight.
The tires show 27 x 8.5 x 15.

What’s wrong with your current ones? I bought some for my MX a few years ago and it was cheaper to buy the tire and wheel together at the Kubota dealer.

I did not realize it, but the lug nuts had loosened up and now the holes are all wallered-out.
I have tightened them up, but I don't want to rely on them. I'd rather get a new wheel and not worry about it.
