Kubota B7200 Rear Rim Width

[N3BP]

Howdy all. I recently purchased a B7200 to replace my B7100. It came with turf tires which wont work for me. I know I need a 6-12 front R1 tires, and the Kubota rims are 12X5JA rims. I want to put 9.5-16 R1 tires on the rear. Kubota wants $350+ a rim. I have a local guy who can make them for $80.00 each. I just need to know what the Kubota Rim size is. All I can see from looking at the manual is the wheel face is offset from the rim center-line by 2.4'', but it doesn't indicate total width.

I'm hoping someone with a B7200 with 9.5-16 rear AG tires can read me what their sticker/stamping on the rear rim says.

Thanks Much!

Rim width is 1"-1.5" narrower than the tire that's going on the rim.

So 8"-8.5", will work for your tires.

Thanks Wolfman. Searching the net, it appears the 8x16'' is the common size, so I have to assume that's what Kubota spec'd out.

Hi Brandon, I had the same issue with my B7200D but I just fitted 33 x 12.50 - 15 lug tires to the 15 inch rims. They maintain the height / circumference ratio to match the 6 - 12 R1 tires on the front.

Thanks for the reply Duffsfarm, they actually look pretty good! Before I read you post, I had stopped by a local Amish farm that specializes in fabricating tractor wheels. He actually had the front rims in stock, and will fabricate the rears. The price he quoted me is still less than a single rear tire from Kubota!
