My L245DT comes standard with 7-16 AG front tires, which are too narrow and aggressive for turf.
I would like to put wider tires up front with lesser aggressive tread (such as industrial/construction or turf tread).
What would be the widers tires that would fit 7-16 rims?
I will have inside clearance issue with wider tires, where could I find offset rims for my front tires?
Thanks,

You have to find something with the same OD as the original tires. Might check different brands, treads of 16" pickup tires.

Like @D2Cat said look at a set of truck tires that have the tread you want and are the same height or RC so that you don't damage the 4wd.

DO NOT turn the rims around or add spacers or use rims with a different offset as you will break parts.
