Thinking about swapping 10.5" wide tires for 8.5"
Because I have a very narrow area to access with my IHCC 1450, I would like to reduce the width as much as possible. I currently have 23x10.5-12 tires installed that results in ~37.5" overall width, and I have been thinking about switching to 23x8.5-12 to reduce the overall width of the tractor to 36". From what I have read, I understand I will need to switch from 8.5" wide rims to 7" rims to fit the tires.
Does anybody know if this will actually accomplish what I am after? Will this create any other problems? Does anybody know the backspacing on the 7" rims? did any 1450's come with 8.5" wide tires from the OEM? Cheers, Charlie

From what it read in the tire chart, you will use a 7" rim for the 8.50 tires.
It will make your tractors width less. I don't see where there would be a problem.

Not for sure why you need to narrow the width of your tractor, but have you considered 6-12's. It won't look very good on your tractor, but it will narrow it even more. You could run them as duals on your tractor and reverse the inner set as I did on my original (see my album pics in my profile).....however, that might create a clearance issue if you have disc brakes...not for sure, but the duals will increase the width for you and that is what you are trying to decrease....right?

Thanks for the replies. I just figured out that I wasn't set to "auto-subscribe" to forums that I posted on, so I'm a bit late
 I was able to find a set of 7" rims at a tractor salvage yard off of an old John Deere 140? (I forget now). They puts my back tire width at 35.5", just about perfectly where I wanted them. The bonus is They came with a ratty old set of Goodyear Ags on them that actually seem to be holding air.

Yes they are pretty common--I have 8 pairs of them. I'm not for sure if they are exactly 23" or not....I haven't measured them and it seems like the ag ones are slightly taller than the turfs (not for sure, that could just be due to my inflation of them....if so, then it isn't more than 1/2"). After seeing those ags on the back of your tractor, I'd just stick with those....they look great, aside from that ugly yellow paint!!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
