23 Reo 229 #1 Posted July 16 Are 24x12-12 rear tires too big for a 520H? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,951 #2 Posted July 16 Stock? Most likely. You may be able to raise the fender however. These are 24x12-12s on my 520Xi for reference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,768 #3 Posted July 16 Depends on the brand of tire and actual measurements. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,352 #5 Posted July 17 The width of the rear wheel will also affect the tires overall height…narrower wheel means a taller tire once it’s inflated. I think most 520’s have the wider wheels, not sure about the 1988-1989 models though. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,743 #7 Posted July 17 That is the tire size WH used on many D series... they were mounted on 10.5" wide rims C series 7.5" some 520s 8.5" 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
23 Reo 229 #8 Posted July 17 (edited) I just thought they would look good on my 97. I always put bias ply G60s or G50s on the back wheels of my cars in the 70's. Do you think I would be better off staying with the stock size? Edited July 17 by 23 Reo 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think I would be better off staying with the stock size? IMHO that depends on your opinion and the desired task of the tractor. Your opinion... because it's an aesthetic issue. Personally I like big wide rear tires. Desired task because wide tires do well on loose aggregate or mud but not great for snow. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thor27 773 #12 Posted July 17 24x12-12 airlock. This was a 520 under the black hood & kohler. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thor27 773 #13 Posted July 17 Those are on a 10" rim, they were hard to stretch that wide, they would be easier to mount on 8.5"s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 7,874 #15 Posted July 18 Put a set of 24 12 12 on 10 inch rims, The rims had a little deeper back-set unlike the shallow ones WH used and I had to put spacers on so the tire did not contact the hydro brake. C141 plenty of room under the fender tho. I would be concerned if using a mower,. gauge wheels might hit the tires. this one is for looking and not cooking. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monstrosity 1,140 #17 Posted July 19 (edited) These are 28X12 on 10.5 rims but I made them fit with gt14 rear tins. No spacer and they clear the trailer hitch mount. Edited July 19 by Monstrosity 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
