TC35/40/45 Tire Width

[thisdj1]

Would anyone with the above tractors that are running R4 tires be able to take a measurement of their tires outside to outside and maybe advise of how the tire set up is? Currently, my tires are the widest they can be as far as I can tell, and it appears I have 3 more options. From the math I can come up with, here are the outside to outside measurements that I came up with. Currently 76 1/2", 72 1/2", 68 1/2" or 64 1/2". I have discovered that I can have the rims dished in or dished out and also have the rims mounted on either side of the mounting plate of the outer ring. That is where I got my measurements. I was planning on going with the 72 1/2" option unless others have gone with the next step narrower and have liked it. I'm trying to get as wide as I can, yet still cover a 72" implement. Thanks for all of the help!

Well last night I decided on my tire set up. I ended up going with the wheels dished out (convex side to the outside) with the inner rim mounted on the inside of the mounting bracket of the tire ring. It put my overall width at just a hair over 68". I really was set on going the next setting wider and being just over 72" but I looked at hundreds and hundreds of pictures of this model of tractor and an overwhelming majority of them are set up they way I ended up doing mine. I guess if I end up deciding I really want that extra 4" I can just swap side and will have it. It will be a little easier job than taking off 2 weights on each wheel and also swapping the inner rim. I was just worried about doing any type of dirt work and not being able to cover my tracks. I'll report back with any changes!
