Welcome, David Kirk

 I find that the wide wheels common on modern garden tractors tend to rub on the mower struts and other implements and prevent a full turning angle, so I got a pair of original narrow rims for my I5, and to complete the luck, Jim fitted them with tall 3-rib agricultural tires.  No more rubbing, and no more nose-down stance when I'm wearing the big 'ol balloons in back.  My property has thin turf over hard glacial till, so no worries about rutting the lawn!
