If the tire you have is a 7.50 x 16, like part # AM10430, the wheel you need is a 16 x 6.

We carry several wheels that have an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern that will work with the 7.5 x 16 tire. I recommend a wheel like the Taskmaster Steel Wheel, part # TA55VR. This wheel has a capacity of 3,750 lbs and a 5.15 inch pilot.

I have attached a link to our product pages for the tires we offer and also to the wheels we carry that will work for you.
