i just picked up a 37 wc for my 10 year old son who is excited to have his own tractor and go pulling.  it has 12.4 x 28 rears which we will stay with for now as its a stock motor. my question is on the fronts.  it currently has the correct 6 bolt hubs.  I have some 5 bolts from parts tractors laying around which im assuming will fit?  would like to run some smaller tires on the front.  Looking for advice on what vehicles i can get donut spares to fit up there, (the 5 bolt) or suggestion on minimal work to accomplish.  I could buy some 3x15  b/c wheel blanks and weld in 5 bolt centers cut from old wc/wd rims but time you buy new tires, tubes and rims your looking at half the price of the tractor lol

If it was me, I'd make a set of 6 bolt centers to weld into a pair of 12" rims for 4.00X12 front tires.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

  Browsing the net after seeing your suggestion, i see that is a common size for trailer tires and a complete tire and rim can be had for about $75.  All that would be needed is fabbing the 6 hole disc to weld in.  I will look into this a little more.  Thanks
