Help identifying wheel size

[AOW162435]

I'm still interested in moving to a 9.5-16 rear ag tire on my '79 B7100 (factory 6x16 wheels). The current (new) 8-16 Farm Specialist tires are just too narrow for my liking.
I came across an add for a set of wheels & tires from a Kubota M5700. The front tires are 9.5-16 so I am assume the wheels are 8x16?
Can someone confirm what size front wheel the M5700 came with, and/or the offset? If they are 8" wheels, I would like to track down a set.

" The front tires are 9.5-16 so I am assume the wheels are 8-16? " - those numbers describe the WIDTH of the tire and the diameter. SO your 9.5 will fit the 16" rim - but they may be a bit taller, when a wider tire is placed on a narrow rim it typically bulges a bit in the center. This will affect the circumference and the ratio.

I meant to write that I assume the wheels in the pic are 8x16.

I’d ask the seller to read what is stamped on the rim.

Already did. No reply.

According to Messicks, the 9.5x16 tire was an option for the front on the M5700 narrow model only. They do list the rim as being 8x16. I'd be willing to bet the bolt pattern is identical to the B7100 rear hubs. You can also tell by looking at the rim it's lug-centric like the rears on the B7100. the only question is the offset. It seems that most front tires have little to no offset. The stock 8x16 rims on the back of my B7200 have a good bit of positive offset.

All you need is rims off a B7200, problem solved!
