I need to upsize the front rims on my tractor. Originals are 4.5" wide and thinking I need 6.0" width. I changed front tires from 6.50", to 7.50" and used the original rims.
My original rims have a much heavier center to them than the replacements I've seen online. Also six welded webs to the rim opposed to four I've seen, and shown here:
I don't have a loader and not planning to install one, but do carry three suitcase weights always on the front and mow ditches, etc. I went with Firestone four rib, eight ply tires in F-2 pattern in memory serves and with the way they are "rounded" through the tread really cut into the grass upon turning. I'd like to flatten the tires out as they should be.
Anybody have recommendations to call for obtaining good quality rims? I'm not opposed to sending these to a place in California I've used in the past to make what I'm wanting; if that is the only option. They would reutilize the original centers installing with the offset needed.
My old Clark TLB has bent agriculture rims on the steer axle and someone prior to my ownership installed those so I've seen the result of too light duty of rim for the application.
