I've been struggling to find the right size tires (used) for use on the new 16" 8N style wheels that I had bought. I'm in the process of installing a Wagner front end loader and wanted used truck tires instead of implement tires. Well, the closet I could find around here was 225/75-16". Unfortunately after I had them mounted they would hit the top of the spindle.

So I decided I'd have to use implement tires anyway and stopped at the local TSC store to check them out. While talking to the sales clerk I mentioned the problem and he said just turn the wheels around so the dish is the other way. He said they are designed to do that. Never dawned on me that this would be possible. So went home and tried it, sure enough it worked! The top of the tire is now about 2-1/2" away from the spindle.

Talk about luck, running into that salesman. He was an older guy (heck what am I say, I'm older to!) that had his own 8N and had done that many times.

Anyway, just thought I'd pass on what I found out. Although I'm sure some or most of you already knew this.

Yep - you can do that with the rear wheels also, as well as where you position the rim to the center. If you have an Operators Manual, it describes the different widths you can achieve with each combination.

Glad you ran into an old Ford man!

I knew about the rear wheels and turning them around. I have the operators manual for the 9n/2n and I never paid any attention to the front wheels themselves. I did know about being able to unbolt the axles to spread them apart.

Live and learn!

Just glad I ran into an experienced ford man rather than a high school kid just learning the trade.
