I am going to put newer tires on a 1206. It currently has 18.4x38s. Will 20.8 fit same rim?Will have 11x16 tri rib fronts.I want the tractor to look level.How much will it increase road speed?Thanks!
 

You can wrestle a 20.8 on to the rim, but it will make for a funny looking tire, lack of traction, and some odd wear patterns if you plan on running the tractor. Really, a wider rim is necessary.
 
Do yourself a favor and leave the 18.4x38's on it. The 20.8's just don't look right and make it difficult to rowcrop on 30" rows.
