We pull a 210 farm stock. We are about to change tires going to a bf power saver radial. What's everybody's opinion on widened rims, since we will have them off? Is it worth it? Thanks

I like my wheels the same (or wider) as the tires.....20 inches on a 20.8......18 inches on an 18.4. Now, the tire/rim combination will not make you win if you are 300 HP AND YOUR COMPETITORS ARE 500 HP.

well, this tractor is closer to 500 than 300 lol! But, some of his competition is closer to 800 lol!
