can the rear tires be flipped for a wider stance.

NO....... the web is in the middle of the rim. You would need to get different rims and they would have to have a different offset. I believe that this might just stress the differential and bearings beyond the design capabilities of the tractor. I have seen some "bushings" that will allow you to add an additional wheel to create a dually effect, but they all have been home made and I don't know to what extent of success they have had with them. I know that my old Bolens tractor had a dually set up from the factory, but it was only listed in the manual, and no one has ever admitted to seeing one in reality. I believe that it might have been something that the manufacturer tried at the beginning of the production, but abandoned after tests were performed for reliability. The manuals were probably printed in the interim, and that is the "rest of the story".
I know that some people have tried to "stack" wheels by using the wheel weigh square punch outs in the wheels, but the stress just damages the wheels and it doesn't work.

I think I saw in the 2230 manual a specific warning to NOT reverse the rear wheels.
