Just curious; why do you think you need r1's?
what you are proposing sounds like a very expensive proposition
you will have to properly match the fronts and rears (to prevent undo drivetrain strain), so you probably have to buy all 4 new wheels/tires
my DK90 has exactly the same wheels as kubota's wheels. They are chinese-made. I think tons of modern tractors use the same ones. I also think their are different grades from the same supplier, as I've seen similar, but less beefy wheels than mine on other tractors.

Several reasons.
First is my rears are 85” wide. I tried flipping them around and they only fit one way. Most low boy trailers are 83” between the fenders. I don’t want a deck over. The R1s can be set significantly narrower.
Second is I am looking at 3 point grain drills. The ones I am looking at come in 6 & 8 foot. The 8 foot may be too heavy for my tractor and with the drive wheels it is over 8.6” and becomes an oversized load. With my current tires the 6’ doesn’t cover my tracks.
Third is I plan on doing a lot of tillage. The R1s will give me a lot more traction.

Sounds like a bargain to me.
is that the cast-centre rears?
if you are going to change wheels and you are doing tillage there's no reason to not get the cast rears. And fill the rears. And possibly even front weights...
anyway, good day to you!
