Help choosing rims and tires.

Recommended Posts

I have a 416 with a Kwik-way loader. It kind of turned into a project when all I intended on doing this year was upgrading the front axle assembly to one from a 520. Anyway it has Deestone AGs on the stock rims. They are very narrow even though they say they are 10.5. More like 8.5 and with the new front axle the rear is narrower than the front. My thought is 24x12x12 Carlisle turf tires. I’ll need to drive this across my lawn at times and the AG’s might be too aggressive. The question, 520 rear rims can be tough to find it seems. Did any other tractor use a similar rim and offset? I apologize if this is a topic that has already been discussed at length. I’m open to any other rear tire arrangement and have already inquired about duals but it seems they stress the axles a lot and my terrain is not the smoothest.

Some zero turn mowers have the wide wheels. Backspace varies...

Ags aren't that bad. My 2 'running' tractors have Ags, my main mower and the diesel loader. Only time they tear is if you spin the tires. The tri-ribs will do more damage if turn too quick over the ags tearing up the grass. The diesel has ATV tires that are very aggresive, even those don't tear it up. I'd get pics, but lo and behold, it's raining.

Also Miller tire has rim blanks, I bought a set of 10s for the diesel loader. I found another set off a turf mower or something....

A to Z Tractor in Pennsylvania might have the 520 rims. 

As stated above you could get the blanks and weld them yourself too. 

 

If your offset is wrong you can install spacers.

I believe he had a set w/tires at the last big show (two summers ago) - and reasonably priced if I recall correctly
