I got all carried away with the concept and completely left out consideration of the tire width. add 9.5 or 8.3 to everuything I just said. (I was having a gray moment. Apologies)
SO . . . with 9.5s (on 7" or 8" rims, makes no real difference) set to the narrowest, you could squeak through the fenders. Setting them up for a 68" treadwidth, with 9.5s would make you to wide for your 76" gap between fenders. Even 8.3s would scrape, regardless of your rim width.
Do your shot rims have tires that will hold air long enough for a test? Try balancing the tractor for hauling. If you can set the wife front up narrow enough to drive it on (as opposed to backing it) and get the tractor far enough on to balance without having to get the rears between the fenders, then you can set them out enough for the chains to clear. But you'll want to have it chained down well, and check often to make sure it stays put if your tread is that close to the edge of the deck.
