grinchsr 647 #1 Posted April 27, 2012 Has anyone mounted a pair of 23 x 10-1/2 x 12 inch tires on a standard 7-1/2 wide wheel and gotten away with it or do I really need the 8-1/2 inch wheels ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 650 #2 Posted April 27, 2012 I bet they would work. Tires would probably bulge off the wheel quite a bit, but I bet they would mount OK. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,211 #3 Posted April 27, 2012 Should fit OK, just know it'll be ballooned out a bit in the middle of the tread. :dunno: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,579 #4 Posted April 27, 2012 i had a pair of 23-10.50-12 bar tread mounted on a pair of 7.5 rims and they worked ok. when i got my 520-8 i put them on the 8.5 rims and they looked better, but they did work and did not look bad. so i would say use what you got for now and when you find a set of 8.5 rims transfer them over. different makes of tires even in the same numbered size vary in actual physical size. i have 2 sets of 23-10.50-12 tires that really measure 23-9.50-12 and fir the 7.5 rims better than the 8.5. had to tube them to fit the wider rims eric 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #5 Posted April 28, 2012 The cheaper tires are not as wide as the better tires, even the true 10.5 wide tire will fit on a 7" rim AG/bar tread will not bow as much as turf tires, I just sold a set tonight of 23x10.5x12 turf tires on 7" rims we set them next to the same brand turf tires but they were 23x8.5x12 on 7" rims and the 10.5's bulged up in the middle making them about 1.5" taller, so depending on the brand a style of tire as to how they will fit.
