Hello I currently have a 190 XT with 18.4-34 tires that need replaced. Rather then replacing with same size I am asking is there an easy way to go with the 18.4-38 rims and tires. I've heard or been told this could be done but I cannot find out or learn how it is completed. I want to keep the current hubs that I have, I just want to change rims and tire size.Thanks

Two ways, if you don't need Power-Adjust wheels. One is called "step-up lugs" that are taller cast pieces to connect your 34" hub to a standard 38" rim. Another is called "drop-center" rim that the center is 34" to work with your hub and cast pieces, but outside is 38" to hold a 38" tire. If you want to have power adjust wheels you will need to change to 38" cast centers. Step-up rim from Unverferth:  ------------- The innovators offer what others will imitate. |

| I don't mean to step on his thread but can you use the step up lugs on 38's and be able to put 42's on? I would think you could but I've never heard of anybody having the longer lugs for sale. |

KGood, Yes, you can use the step up lugs for 38" to 42" also. They are available from any Brent/Unverferth dealer or most farm tire places can get them. ------------- The innovators offer what others will imitate. |

Hello again.
I wanted to say thanks to everyone that replied to my question concerning the 34 inch tire to a 38 inch tire for my 190 XT. I will be checking at salvage yards first and hope I have some luck.
Thanks again!
