Howdy everyone! My family has a Massey
Ferguson 255 with a bad rear rim on the
back right. The tire was weighted with
whatever liquid they put in those tires
to weight them and had rusted through and
thus the rim cracked allowing all the
liquid to escape and left us with a
cracked rim that we are told cannot be
welded. So we are in the market for a
power adjusting or spinout rim with four
rails that can hold a 16.9x28 tire. My
question is, could we get away with
buying a smaller rim (12x28 or 13-14x28)
and still use that same larger tire on
it? We have a dealer trying to sell us a
brand new 12x28 rim but are unsure if the
tire will fit. They claim they cannot
find a rim of 16.9x28 size. Could this be
true or b.s? We have heard negative
feedback of this dealer so we are a
little hesitant to proceed without some
advice and research. We are also looking
for some other dealers in the PA, NY area
and/or places to look for rear rims. Any
advice, thoughts, and information would
be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
