For 23-10.50x12 tires, the wheels will need to be 11" wide (inside lip to inside lip). And for 26-12.00x12 tires, the wheels will need to be 13" wide (inside lip to inside lip). To figure the width of the steel, if the wheel was originally 5" in width, for a 13" wide wheel, the piece of 33-3/8" long flat steel will need to be 8" wide (5" - 13" = 8"). If the wheel is originally 8-1/2" wide, the steel will need to be 4-1/5" wide, etc. (8.5" - 13" = 4.5") The width of all wheels are always measured from the inside lip from one rim to the other. See picture to the right.

Here is a Cub with 26-12.00x12 rear tires.
Rims are 8 1/2 inches wide.
23-10.50 12 tires:
Rims are 8 1/2 inches wide.
I don't want a rim wider than the tread.
