Disclaimer..I am pretty far from being an expert...but I don't know how much trouble you would get in, but it can be done. My Super H has standard rims and 15.5 X 38s on it. By my calculations, the tires would be 69" in diameter versus 60 1/2" for 11.2 X 38s...this is a pretty substantial difference (14% larger)which would translate into 14% more speed in any gear (you should get about 18-19 MPH in road gear). Keep in mind that this will raise you rear end by about 4", so you will kinda look nose down and this higher center of gravity could increase the likelyhood of a rollover (My Super H has a wide front and oversize tires there too, so it isn't too bad) (BTW I didn't put these on, the previous owner did and I would not, if for no other reason than looks...big tires on an H just look funny to me). But you do get the floatation and lower ground pressure. So it really comes down to your desired usage..I assume you are taking these off another tractor or have them sitting around or they are real cheap. But if lower ground pressure, floatation and less tire marks are important, then go for it. If you just need good all around tires, I would stay closer to stock.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
