Wheel spacers for Toolcat

[60047]

Does anyone make wheel spacers for Toolcats? I use drove one for the first time. Solid machine, though I would prefer just a touch more stability.

Should be no problem being that the newer ones are a 6x5.5 bolt pattern. The suspension makes it feel like it is tippy but I was surprised at how much weight I had hanging to one side (tree in grapple) and it stayed planted. Tractors have no suspension so the feel different.

Any wheel spacer will work if it is the right bolt pattern and center hole:

Or for 5 bolt:

I never felt like they were needed, maybe it is the suspension that you are not used to:

You would have to measure tire clearances F/R because of the AWS. The 29" tires will have less room and the big turfs are 2"wider and will have even less.

Love to find spacers for my narrow Mitsubishi.
(preferably at reasonable price)
While I've checked around, I'm surprised that nobody recognizes the SAE specs that I give them.
(From my parts manual I get them to be W8 X 18 rims.)

Heck I can't ship a rim 1/2 way across the country simply to get a quote. (plus I have only 2 rims and they have tires mounted and live on my tractor)

Also, one thing to mention. Spacers on a solid axle like a tractor does not adversely affect suspension geometry as they don't have suspension. The Toolcat has independent suspension with A-arms so moving the tires more outboard would change the leverage applied to the A-arms. Being that the Toolcat can lift 3000 lbs and do that while traveling over rough terrain, I would really be careful with spacers. You would be adding more force onto the A-arms, ball joints, tie rods, and stop pads that carry that load. Just my $.02
