Stir up the pot...again!

I've asked this question in the past but for grins I'll ask it again! My '53 DC Case is pretty well back from the dead. I had hopes the old rear tires would hold out till I completely worked the bugs out and got it painted. Well, no such luck. Last night I blew a 4" hole in the right rear and the left doesn't look much better. How many of you have successfully put 15.5's on a 12" rim? My thought is I would go ahead and mount them on now and when I get ahead a little, buy some 14" rims. The 15.5's would be new. (Seldom are used tires a bargain.) I know it isn't recommended. I don't want 14.9's as I want the same profile as the 13.6's. I'd like to hear of your experiences. Thanks, Glenn F.

Well they look good on a DC, but you should see a 44 S I have with 14.9 X 26 on it. Leaves a nice footprint but it is a little short on power to get full use out of them. Someone cut the rims and spliced in a 3" section. Wonder why, now I want to find new rims for it. Chuck

Les, I've seen those big feet on other photos you've posted in the past. Wow! Are they on 10' rims? What kind of print do they leave in sand? Wow much tire face is touching the ground? How fast can that thing go in high gear...? Glenn F.

It takes a lot of work, but if you are a decent welder, cut the 12 inch rims in two and weld in a 2 or 3 inch band. Costs almost nothing. I did this with my Farmall M and put 15.5 tires on her.

I've thought about that many times, but I hate to cut up my excellent condition 12" rims. Glenn F.
