11.2 tires on 12" rims?

[johmarq]

Thanks everyone for your replies

Now my only concern is will the tractor look strange, considering the 11.2 tires will drop the back end by a considerable margin.

Anyone got any idea how much the back will drop?

Are any of you running 11.2s on a Massey Ferguson 135 or 148?

Let me ask the opposite question. How about putting 12.4x24 on a rim that is currently using 11.2x24's and what would be the issues to look for?

No problems there...I've got a '74 Farmall 140 that's had 12.4s on it forever...came with 11.2s...BobG in VA

I'm coming up a height of 43.4 high on the 11.2 and 49.8 high on the 14.9 tire. So could look a little different. Could also effect your mowing.

So a little over 3" change in radius/height.

Yes it will.

Thanks all for you help, I've decided to sell the 11.2s and buy some 13.6 tires, the 11.2s are just too small in profile

I think you'll be much more satisfied. Post pics when you get them installed!!!
