| What size tires do you need?
What rim size? Whats the axle size, is it splined, keyed or does it have flats to engage the wheel?
ATV tires need to be mounted on Bead lock rims or they wont stay seated.
One way is to have a machinist cut out the centers of your stock wheels, and machine out a matching circle in the ATV rim, and then weld them together. It will cost, but you should be able to get them reasonably straight and true.
Or you can weld the atv rims directly to the stock rims. It will make tha tarctor a lot wider, and put a lot more wear and tear on the spindle and axle.

One of the guys in the Mower community playlist and he is also a member here, used turf tires, and then used a hot chisel to remove some of the treads to make a off road tire..might be an option for you.. Also, on the ATV rims, (not to insult you) but, double check before you purchase that if you intend to do the weld method that they arent aluminum..just as a reminder to check.. (a guy came to me asking to fix his rim, and it was aluminum) thats why i say this..I couldnt help him weld them up. | |
