Tires for Ford 540 industrial model

[pbedwell55]

I inherited a Ford 540 industrial model, probably a late 1970s/early 1980 model, that had car tires on the front. I want to put ribbed tires on but I am having trouble finding the correct size. The rims are 16s but they are wide, I assume because of the industrial model. Does anyone know what size tires I should be looking for? Thanks.

7.50-16 were standard. If it came equipped with a loader, 7.50-16 were still standard, but 11.00L-16 were optional.

I think the fronts were OEM 7.5 x 16 --- never saw a Ford Tractor with 17 fronts, but I could be wrong.
