Tire size on stock wheels

[cschannuth 3,795]

What is the widest tire I can mount on a stock rear C-161 wheel?  Currently has 23-8.50's.  Could it handle a 23-10.50?  I have plenty of clearance.  I'm just worried about the wider tire looking goofy or not mounting up on the stock wheel.  I want a little more width in an Ag style tire.  Thanks.

every tire is different,some will bulge in the middle with that wide of tire,some guys do it,some say they don't fit all that well especially if you run chains on them,but it really depends on the tire,maybe some of the guys who have put wider tires on will post some pics,i personally like the look of a 8.5,but that's me

I don't think I would go to 10.5's, I feel comfortable knowing plenty of clearance.

Go with the 8.50 You can see on  c125 what they look like.

Not all brands are the same. I have deestone 10.50 ags on my C-160 and they fit great. They are barely wider than the stock 8.50 Carlisle turfs. Carlisle tires are closer to real size. Deestones are quite a bit small. I think you may be disappointed with the deestone 8.50s.

tbarnhart,

            I have been thinking about Deestones 10.50" on 8.5" rims but from your pictures of the Deestones  on 7.5" rims I'll put them on the 7.5"They look like they fit that rim size well.Thanks,JAinVA

I have the stock Carlisle 8.50's.  They look a little skinny on the wheel to me.  They still work so I'll keep them for now.  I was just wondering about my options.  Thanks for all the replies.
