Front tire size.

Highwayman · May 30, 2020

Had a Swartz wide front on my 560 and switched it out for the original narrow front.
While it was WFE I put 7.50- 16s on it. Tried putting the same tires on the narrow front and they
rub. I’m positive that they’re the same rims that were always on it. 7.50s too big for a narrow
front?
I think it used to have 6.50s on it

There are a few things here going on. They may be a size to big for the wheels causing them to rub. The dish of the wheel could be to deep or not enough causing them to rub. And then the wheel may be just to wide allowing them to rub. You say you are sure they were on there before. Could it be possible they were not the same wheels, or maybe the tires were up sized since then for a loader or more floatation?

You can shove a 7.50 on to a 4" wide rim. Even easier on a 5" wide rim. So just because the rims are original doesn't mean it didn't have smaller tires on it originally.

I assume you are saying the tires are too tall, right?
