I have an old Excel Hustler 295 and need a replacement wheel. The wheel has been discontinued by Hustler. Specifications for the wheel I need are: 12 in x 8.5 in, 5 lug on 4-1/2", with only a 2-3/16" (approximate due to damage of current wheel) backspace. Any help finding a wheel to fit would be appreciated!

Do you have the actual model number of the mower?

Ya, the lady at Excel Hustler said the 295 was last made in 1981. They were available with two sizes of wheels, a12x7 and 12x8.5 and the wheels were made by Carlisle but have been discontinued for several years. So, I was hoping someone might be parting an old 295 or possibly know another fit by dimension.

If you can find a wheel with 3.25" backspace, just add wheel spacer. 5x4.5 (or 114.3mm) is same as Ford car, Ranger, small Jeep Wrangler, and others. Spacers (or adapters) are available on Ebay, Amazon, etc.....with thickness from 1/2" to 3".
