Just want your guys opinion. Would my 7030 look better with 24.5x32 tires or would it look better with 18.4x38 duels with 9 bolt steel pressed rims on the outside. Have 16.5x 16.1 4 ribs on the front.
 
Thanks in advanced, Darryl. P.S. Also taking the cab off and making a open station. Leaning towards the duels.

Darryl, We had a neighbor that bought a 7030 new open station with 24.5x32's looked awesome but was not much fun in the dust,heat or cold.That was the only one I ever seen in person.

well, here in "row crop" country, We see the 18.4-38 dualed up tractors all the time. So based on that I think the "big fat tires" look sweet.

Duals are a nice look, but the pressed steel wheels won't look as good as factory cast duals.  If that is your option, I'd lean toward the 24.5 x 32.  Plus, the single tires, albeit wider, will be easier to get the tractor narrow enough for transport.
The innovators offer what others will imitate.

I vote for 30.5 x 32".  Second for 24.5 x 32" if you are going to haul it on a trailer and have to be 8' 6" or narrower.  Mexican hat cast duals are good too but a bear to take off.

Our 7040 had 18.4-38 with clamp on duals, I would've liked to had axle mount but we were on 36" rows so axle length was an issue for us.

It really depends on what you're going to do with the tractor.  But, I'd probably lean towards the duals.

I had a 7060 with big rubber and it looked good, there are almost no tractors with big rubber around here all have duals so I vote for the 24.5s

I had a D21 with 30.5. I liked the looks so good that I am insalling 30.5 on 220 this month. I have 4 matched 24.5 if you want to go that way

30.5's on my 210. 110" wide with 4" clearance to the fender on each side. 7030 is same width.  I vote again for 30.5's!  It's simple to widen the rims like I posted earlier.

I'd go duals. They pull better and can be removed if needed.

Man, I'm a sucker for the fat tire look.  Here in row crop country, it's rare to see something with the wide tires.  I'd say go for the 24.5.
 
That said, you could also get creative and go with like a 600/65r38 tire.  Michelin makes one that would fit right on a 16x38 rim (18.4-38 sized rim) and they look sweet.  That way, if your rims are good, you wouldn't need to replace them and you could always change back to 18.4-38's if you wanted.
 
So many choices really, the answer is how much do you want to spend?!
 
And if you want it to look super sweet, get some diamond tread 16.5L-16.1 tires for it.  That makes any tractor look beefy!

People think I just drive around and throw nails out, but the truth is I fix tractor tires for a living. I don't need any help making more work for myself!

If it was an option how about 20.8 x 38 or better yet 20.8 x 42 duals?

Where would someone find rims to fit 30.5x32 tires on a 185 ac? I know this is a old thread but I'm looking for that setup

I'm no wheel expert but I doubt they made a 32in wheel center to use the 185 bolt pattern. About the only option would be to have adapters built which bolt to your axle stubs and a larger center outboard to bolt combine rims to

Where you gonna find centers to fit both 32 in rim and 8 bolt stub axle? Could have them made out of plate I guess.

30.5's on a 185 would probably look a little goofy. Something like a 28L-26 combine type would be a better fit/look. Some combine wheels fit the stub axle bolt pattern and could be widened but I don't know if the offset wound fit the tractor with fenders.

I wasn't sure how different it would look than a 220 I saw with them on it. I want it to look good but be wide and not goofy. Anyone have pics with 28L-26 on a 185,190?
