Default Lug bolts with larger diameter heads
I recently picked up a set of 26 x 12 x 12 ag tires mounted on rims. However the rim holes are too large for the lug bolts on my cub cadet 582. Does someone make the 7/16 fine thread bolts with larger heads?

One alternative I thought of was to buy washers and weld washers into the rims to make the mounting hole smaller.

I have noticed on the web several places where car rims could be used on cub cadets. Don't car rims use a larger hole size for the lug bolt? What lug bolt would you use to mount a car rim to a cub cadet? Or do you switch to studs and lug nuts?

The 26 x 12 x 12 tires were designed for Cub SUPER garden tractors. The 582 is a regular garden tractor and the appropriate tire size for it would be the 23 x 10.50 x 12.

If you are going for "the look", then adaptation would be expected.

go to your local bolt store and get some longer bolts with regular heads on them. Then you can thread them in from the back (inerside) of the axle flange. Use lock tight on them and get them good and tight. Then you will essentially have lugs (studs) on the outer side. Then you can use regular lug nuts.

Or just simply get the correct wheels for a CC for that size tire.

I like jbollis's idea. Just get some studs and mount them up

Stock can only be so fun.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
