tires

I have done more research and i think i can better explain what i need to know. Will a 12x16.5 tire mount on a 8.25x16.5 rim without any problems. based on what i have read a 12x16.5 tire normally mounts on 9.75x16.5 rim. i have a 751 which came with 8.25x16.5 rims and 10x16.5 tires. Thank you

It can be done al long as the tire will clear the loader arm when lowered, but the extra cost involved is not worth it. Extras involved include lowering the quick tach plate on the bucket, extra cost of tires, wear on components, height width restrictions on jobs and the hassle to get the tires mounted( the extra width is difficult to mount and keeping the tire on the bead incase of leaks or flat tires. Bottom line is it is not worth the hassle!

Cost difference for the cheap tires, 10-16.5 R4 $110.54 same tire 12-16.5 $160.48 as of today. $200.00 difference.
