Gentlemen, here's what I'm researching, my machine (2019 CRZ 48") it came in 42", 48", 52" and 61". Judging from the part#'s I could go up from 20x10.00-10 to 20x12.00-10 on the same rims., It looks to me the rims are simply 10x7 on the 48 to 61" decks and the frames are the same item except for the labeling,


If you have experience with this please chime in, thanks Ray

After digging through this info, it is clear the 20x12.00-10 tire uses a 10x8.5 rim, there is a print error in my parts listing.. Oh Well. r

12" is pretty wide for an 8.5" wide rim

If you are thinking of going to a wider tire, you must consider clearance issues. There was a member who purchased larger rims and tires for his Toro. He ended up adding spacers to make the new combination work.

Bert, look at Hustler Raptor HD is 20x12.00-10 . rim is 10x8.5 , want a bet a 20"Hustler rim will fit a 20" Bobcat? , are they not both driven by ZT 2800 hydro units 48, 50, & 60

BigDog Aplha MP 20x12-10 ZT2800's 54" & 60" https://www.mowerpartsgroup.com/38sp60134-bigdog-pneumatic-tire-assembly-20-12-00-10-black.html

BobCat CRZ 42" to 61" ZT2800's 61" jumps from 20x10.00-10 to 20x12.00-10

Ya think all 3 wheel assemblies will swap? If I can swap my machine up to a 12" tire I can also easily get a more aggressive tire.. Cheers. r

Don't forget about the offset of the rims. According to chart posted there are two different rims used.

The same hydros can be fitted with different different stud centres according to the makers requirements
Very common to change them so wheels with different rim offsets can not be interchanged to prevent fouling or putting too much canterlevered load on the hydro axle

Understand, the Hustler hubs I found running 20x12.00-10 uses a 10x8.5 rim with 3.12" backset, The Bobcat info is confusing because on the chart it shows 10x7 rim but it you look close. Go here https://www.m-and-d.com/solr/words/4168348.html

I believe it shows there is an error on my original parts list and it is actually a 10x8.5 rim, The questions is now is what is the offset or setback for the Bobcat rim. I have yet to find this spec anywhere but I am incline to believe it is the same as the others (Hustler and BigDog). If anyone has a CRZ with a 61" deck it would be most helpful if they could verify the rim PN#. Otherwise I will be reaching out to a BobCat dealer. r
