When I bought new rear tires for the L2500, I had to shop rolling circumference to match them with the new front tires. PO had replaced them with a larger size!
It was an arduous process, finding the 'just right' size. Tire manufacturers publish rolling circumferences, but I found that they deviate significantly (several inches) from the actual size when mounted.
I ended up trading in my old tires/rims, and buying new tires...AND rims.
If you're near Lancaster County, PA, this is the place to go:
Wenger Systems - Aaron Wenger
264 Voganville Rd
New Holland, PA 17557
717-656-9876
They charged me $400 for a pair of new rims with lugs welded on, $730 for a pair of new tires and tubes, and gave me $100 for my old tires/rims. Tires were 13.6x24 Galaxy Earth-Pro 45. The welding of the lugs was a bit sloppy (required some grinding to clean up), but they were accurately located. I picked up the rims when they were done, and after cleaning up the rough edges, I took them to a nearby powder-coating place ($255). Then, I took the coated rims back to Wenger's to get the tires mounted. That was two years ago. The tires were CHEAP, because they were from a bulk purchase from another dealer, going out of business.
Wenger's has a HUGE yard full of new and used tires and rims. Also centers. You can waste a lot of time in there...
