Tires Front tires...wider option?

[couchsachraga]

Just curious...has anyone ever put wider front tires on (is it even possible?) I seem to have plenty of clearance on my YM336D, and will be working with a loader or grapple on some soft ground this spring / summer (I did last fall too....the only time I've EVER gotten seriously stuck. It took me abotu 2 hours to get out...would have been easier if the rear end wasn't sitting on an old stump buried in the soft muck I sunk into (under a nice tall, grassy field I was attempting to mow).

I know I don't want to go bigger, as it will throw off my axle ratio, so I was wondering if it was possible to go wider on the same rim, or what other tricks others may have used in the past.

Thank you in advance for your time,

I had Hey Wheel make rims for wider tires. I put industrial tires on front and rear. The industrials let you go wider without changing your ratios.

Every time I go to Hey Wheel's web site, it doesn't load properly. How much does making new rims cost on average?
Do they already know lug nut patterns for the Yanmars or do you have to send them a rim or measurements?

Do you need their phone #?

At this point, I'm just curious about how much and how to get them made. It's not a high priority right now for me.
However, If they are cheap enough I might bump them up on my list /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

They have some patterns in memory, but it is easy to measure for them. 785-594-3441 ask for Bob. Tell them about the web page. It won't load on my computer.
I can't find my invoice for the front wheels or I would tell you what they cost.
