So my new MX4800 with ag tires appears to be about 70" wide measured to the outside edges of each rear tire. However, the rim dish is mounted on the outside of the rim lugs, and it appears the dish can be mounted to the inside of the lug...pushing the rim itself out another 2" or so on each side. I'd be happy to gain 4" of width for added stability on steep slopes I mow. The dealer is doing the work since the loaded tires are so heavy.

I had my dealer extend mine as far as possible as I do on all the tractors we use on inclines. Your manual will show you how. When I was younger, my brother and I routinely changed spacing dependent on the task, but now I call farm service truck, just too dangerous for most.
Yep, thought about this. But I decided to follow the manual and just move it out to the widest setting permissible by Kubota. Plus, unfortunately my trailer bed sits between the fenders...so even though fender to fender it is 102" wide the bed itself is only 82"...so that had to be considered too.
