Either way is acceptable.Hey, I have been negotiating with a dealer on a used M6060 they have on their used lot. Good shape and deal is almost done. But it has the cast iron rear wheels with radials. I do not know the exact size radials at the moment, but here is my question, The outer rim is mounted to the inside of the cast center ( I will try to post a picture ). The dealer dosent seem to want to swap them to where the outer rim is mounted to the outside of the inner cast rim. I would like it done that way, because of thinking future possible flat repair. If the outer rim is mounted to the outside of the cast rim, I figure that if i had a flat, I could just jack the tractor up, remove outer rim bolts and remove the tire and aouter rim and take it to get fixed. This way i do not have to deal with the weight of the cast iron rim and just leave it on the tractor. The added 4 inches on each side of width is another bonus for my hillsides. Anybody have the cast iron rear wheels mounted this way? is it the right way? like I say dealer really dosen't seem to want to do it, thanks
this is how they are now. all i want them to do is mount outer rim to outside of the cast center instead of inside like this......

Tire professionals usually do not remove either wheel or rim from tractor to repair punctures but I change/repair my own (never use liquid ballast) and do so. Accordingly, I, too, would want the rims mounted to the outside of the cast centers.
Yes, set-up and delivery once included mounting tires/rims per customers orders but times are changing.
