R1 tire on R4 rims

[G-Man]

I have a B7500 with R4 tires but would like to eventually change to R1 tires. Will R1 fit on the R4 rims or do I have to change rims?

 

[Eric McCarthy]

More then likely will have to change the rims out. As there is a considerable width difference between R1 and R4 tires.

 

[G-Man]

OK thanks. That is what I thought, so R4 will go back on when these are worn out.

If you really want to swap look online at Ebay and find after market rims for R1's cheapper then what the dealer sells them for.

There was a thread here not too long ago about having your dealer get mounted tires & wheels wholesale from Kubota, for WAY less than just the tires retail. Worth looking into.
