The best way would be to find a new wheel disk to fit the new rim with the proper bolt pattern and weld it in the rims after removing the old ones. Another thing that might work would be to cut the bolt pattern out of a set of old rims and weld inside of the 8 bolt rims. The 8 bolt rims probably have a big enough pilot hole that the 5 hole ring would fit inside of it. The older Cub Cadets use the same bolt pattern as your 184. I've thought about doing the same thing you are for our 185 except I have the flotation tires and would like some skinny lug tires for pushing snow, we have some 7.5x24" lug tires off an old corn picker with the 8 bolt wheels.
