Hey guys whats up havent been on in a while. Just finished another build and will post more when I get home. However the build is a lifted craftsman and it has 10" of lift. I'm running the stock 18's and the stock tires in the front. I need to know how big I should go with tires so im asking because this is my first lifted mower. I would like to stay using the 8" wheel but I know that the biggest tire for that is a 20. I would like to do 25's in the rear and something up front but I don't know what size I would need for the front yet. I also dont know if I can get a 10-12" wheel for the mower that just has the hole in the middle for the keyed shaft rear end.

You can get 22x11x8" tires, I personally wouldnt go bigger on a 3/4" shaft transaxle. Other people do, but I've seen them break with bigger. If you feel like taking the risk, you can make hubs out of your old rims and find some cheap 5 lug 12" mower rims on Craigslist!
