Tire/Wheel Question
 
Will 23x10.50-12 tires fit on what I assume are stock wheels that have 23x8.50-12 tires on them?

I found a set of ags on Craig's list and I desperately need tires that hold air on my 109. The tires are already mounted on five hole wheels but I don't think I'm lucky enough for them to bolt up. If they will fit on the wheel will they fit on the tractor without any other problems?

If the rims offset is correct on the C-list tires, they will work. All the 5 bolt wheels in this size use the same lug pattern.

Yes..... a 10.50 tire will go on a narrow rim, but they will "balloon" when mounted. You won't like it. Just tube your tires. Easy peezy.

If theyre cheap I would say get them and put them on your narrow rims they will stick out about an inch more on each side than the stock

They will "balloon" not "stick out".

The tire on the right is on the correct rim (8.5" wide). The tire on the left is on a narrow (6.50") rim. They are both 10.50 tires.

I would love to tube them but the side walls are completely gone from sitting flat, outside for years.

Thanks for the helpful information all.

Now to nail down a price..........

Unless there is a (large/gaping) hole in the sidewall, you can tube them.

I've tubed rear tires with a hole large enough to fit a sharpie marker in, with no issues.

These are 10.5s on 7" wheels meant for 8.5 tires. They cleared the fenders fine.

As J-Mech mentioned, the offset is important. I bought a set of Wheel Horse tires and rims that were just fine for $10/set. I tried to put them on my 169 roller to make it easier to move around the garage and they are too close to the fenders. Make sure they are cub rims.
