Rear Wheels Fitment

[cschannuth 3,817]

I'd like a wider set of rear wheels/tires on my C-161. What would work, 520H wheels?

All my wheels have the same bolt pattern, from the late 60's to early 90's on my 520.  Have raider, charger, 416,  and 520.

Thanks for confirming the bolt pattern. I was also wondering if a 520 wheel was wider and would still fit without rubbing inside. I'm really just looking for a deeper dish. Or, if there are other wheels out there that would give me the width to use a wider tire.

Just sold those rims/tires last night....but...yes, rear rims off a 520 will fit a C-161 with no clearance issues.

I saw that but wanted to confirm they would fit under my 161. It also appeared they were pending being sold. Thanks for the help.

Do you you know how much wider they are than the width of the the C series, 300, 400 wheels?

90% of all these size tractors us a 5 on 4,1/2" bolt pattern. I have looked at wider rims and found JD to have the widest factory wheel.

The C-series, 300 400, and early 520-H use a 7" wide rim. The later 520-H ('90 and later) use an 8.5" rim, the same as the 5xi series. There was a posting of a forum member that used the 7" rim with 23X10.50-12 tires. They "balloon" out from the rim and could create clearance issues on some tractors. For instance, the Wheel Horse 312A needed a wheel spacer on one side to use chains with the 22X8.50-12 tires

 

Be careful with other manufacturer's rims. They sometimes use a different offset than Wheel Horse and that would create clearance problems. For example, Cub Cadet doesn't have the same offset as Wheel Horse and would be a problem.

Here is a link to a pair listed on eBay right now. This style of wheel (from the 520 model w/swept forward front axle) should work for you as they are 8 1/2" bead to bead meant for the 23-10.5-12 tires with virtually all the offset to the outside. The earlier 520's with the straight axle had the 7" bead to bead meant for the 23-9.5-12 tires.
