Do you know if the wheels are dished in or dished out now? If they're dished in already, flipping them over will only make the tractor wider.
Looking at pictures, it's the typical stamped steel wheel center and separate rim held on by several loops welded to the rim. You get different widths through combinations of flipping the wheel centers, mounting the rims on the inside or the outside of the dish, and swapping the rims from one side to the other.
If the tractor is set at the widest possible width, there probably isn't enough clearance to simply flip the dish over. It will likely rub on the fender. You would instead have to move the loops to the inside of the wheel center, or swap the rims side-to-side. Either will gain you 2" per side.
Hopefully the tires aren't loaded. The job won't be too bad if all you have to deal with are the tires and rims. Bring the whole socket set, 3/4" drive if you've got it for the center lugs, 1/2" to deal with the loop bolts.
