x485 aws wheel spacers

[Kiteflyer]

Where do I find wheel spacers for an x485 aws ?

I want to put the wider 12" HDAP tires or Bar Tires on the machine and understand that I will need to install inch spacers to avoid rubbing the steering mechanism.

Is that right? Who sells the spacers?

Thanks!

You might check out the spacers sold for the 425, 445, 455 AWS, just in hopes that they are the right bolt pattern. The X485 has a different AWS linkage that, at least for installing tire chains, removed the need for the spacers. Your Deere dealer should be able to clue you in to wheel spacers for the X485, if they are available.
Otherwise, stop by any metal fab shop, and they can make spacers for you.

I have the X485 and the 425/455, so will look to see if I can tell if the bolt patterns are the same. The tire size is not.

Edit update:
I measured the bolts on both tractors, and they appear to be the same bolt pattern, so would conclude the spacer for the 425 AWS would fit the X485. The part number is M117609, and the kit is BM22725

Looking at jdparts, appears Deere sells the wheels and tires that are 12" HDAP. Might not need the spacers if this rim is right for what you want.

I bought 1.5" spacers from for my 2305. The owner Christian was very helpful and answered any questions I had. I looked into a local machine shop and they wanted a lot more. My spacers fit perfectly and I have had no troubles with them. Christian sells them on ebay also but it is easier and a little cheaper to deal with him directly. He will make them any thickness you want, within reason.
