Those are tire sizes. The 7.50-16 tire mounts on a 5.5 inch wide rim that has the smaller ring. The 9.00-16 tire mounts on a 6.5 inch wide rim that has the larger ring.
A question about tire and rim size issues appears on almost every Forum. Someone ought to provide this information and have it on the "Best of the Forum" so this same question would not have to be answered repeatedly.
Oops! There already is a discussion on these tires and rims available. Go to the top of the Forum and click on "Best of the Forum" and scroll down to "NDT Tires and correct rims by Paul Cook" This article also includes a link to additional information by Cabell Garbee concernng other tires that can be used on these rims.
Be sure to search all the references available on line. Often, those references include pictures and other more detailed information than can be included in a single post on the Forum.
