Bigger front tires

I have a Ford 8630 2wd tractor that should have 18.4 38s on the back but has 20.8 38s on it, with the bigger tires, the front end sits to low. It currently has 11.00x16 on it. Is there any options to go taller with the same rims or what has an 8 bolt wheel that has taller rubber on them?
 
I dont' know of any bigger tires that will fit those rims. You might be able to find different rims with the right offset and bolt pattern...something that can wear tires like 16.5 or 18.4x16.1's, or maybe 10.00x20 or 11.00x22.5's? Boneyards should be able to help with rims.
My sales literature shows 18.4x16.1's as optional for the TW25 and TW35.
 
Anything taller is also going to be wider, and will also "bulge" more due to putting them on a too-narrow rim. It is likely that they will rub on the front end with the current rim and won't last long.

There are 12.5Lx16, but they are implement tires not good for tractor steer tires.

16.1's on a 16" rim is not a good idea.

Any solutions will require a different rim.

The 8-bolt pattern is pretty standard. It's the same as on wagon running gears, manure spreaders, etc..

20" rims are taller, a *LOT* taller. But, I don't know if a 3 or 4 rib ag type front tire exists for 20" rims. You may be stuck with truck tires.
 
Leave it as is with the front low and always driving down hill. It will use less fuel than if it"s nose high and driving uphill.
 
Aren't 14Lx16.1's a low profile tire? They would give more width than 11.00x16, but I don't think they are any taller. (no tire book handy to look up diameter)
 
I don't know exact numbers but their taller and wider. I had them on my tw 20 loved them. Ride really nice also Would have to check on rim size for accurate mounting.
