Tires 3550 wheels on a 2565

[Spentit]

I want to go from agricultural tires R-1 on my Mahindra 2565 cab shuttle to industrial tires R-4 . The R-1 are digging up my lawn. I have found a set of wheels and tires off of a Mahindra 3550 with R-4 tires. Anyone know if these wheels will bolt onto my 2565? It is a full set, front and rear. The front are the same six lugs and the rear are the same eight lugs. I believe they are from the same tractor so I am assuming there won't be an issue with ratio imbalance. Lug nut size and center hole I am not sure of or lug spacing. They are along way from my location so I can't get my measuring tape on them. I am going to ask the seller to measure them for me but they don't open until Monday. Was hoping someone out there might have done the wheel swap before. I have also found that the 3550 is a Mahindra tractor ( not sure where it is made) and the 2565 is a TYM, South Korean. I know my 2565 is metric not sure about the 3550. Thanks

I do not believe that the ratio of rear tire diameter to front tire diameter is the same for both machines. You'd have issues in 4wd, even if you can get them to bolt up.

Compare the AG tire sizes listed for each model on the Mahindra website. If they match up, then you should be good to go.

I did a lot of checking of sizes on all the tires involved. I found the the fronts tire have the same "rolling circumference" But the rear tires are different by -6". I know that any difference is not good but running in the dirt might allow for that difference. On asphalt in 4wd maybe not. At this point it is a crap shoot.

Well just spoke to a Mahindra dealer. Real helpful. He went out and put a tape measure on both tractor wheel in question and found there is quite a difference in bolt pattern. So I guess that makes this post dead in the water. Thanks for everyone's help.
