Hi Guys, a quick question if I can please. I have found a set of rims (to suit 10 x 16.5 tyres) at a local supplier, they are off a late model case skid steer, 8 stud same PCD but they use a 5/8 stud with 5/8 nuts where as my LS170 has 9/16 studs. Will these wheels fit if I use a large 9/16 nut with the appropriate size taper to suit. Also can anyone tell me if the offset is the same/similar. thanks for the help Gazza

It would work for a while. It will end up popping your studs though. If it's thick enough you could make it last longer by sticking a sleeve over the stud but that may not work either for long. Skidsteers put a lot of pressure on the studs when turning and the constant turning will break the studs. Best if you can just mount those tires on your rims o find the right 9/16 rims cheap.
