widen rear wheels

Recommended Posts

I thought I had seen on here where someone had cut a set of wheels with an angle grinder to widen them but cannot find it now. Also There use to be a video of widening wheels also but its no longer there, thought someone may have video saved and could share. Has anyone tried this before and what kind of luck did you have? Wanting to widen a set for some 26x12x12 tires.

I've done this before just to see if I could- but will just spend the money next time on a wide set of wheels. It is alot of work. 

 

But yes I used a side grinder with cutoff wheels and a narrow strip of steel to align both sides when finished. I also used the tractor itself to both mark and cut the wheels. Just jacked up the rear and let the wheel spin in low range and don't try to cut much. Just let the grinder do what it does. 

 

The good thing was because of where my cuts were, the leftover parts make up some nice 6 inch wide spares.
