This is a set of two complete wheel and tire assemblies (18x8.5-8, 4-ply rating) designed for lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers. They replace worn or damaged rear drive wheels on residential and light-commercial machines.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, verify three measurements:
- Tire size: Must be 18x8.5-8 (18" diameter, 8.5" wide, fits an 8" rim). This is common on many John Deere, Husqvarna, Craftsman, MTD, and Troy-Bilt models, but not universal.
- Bolt pattern: 4 lugs on a 4" PCD (pitch circle diameter). Measure center-to-center of opposite lugs – it must be exactly 4 inches.
- Hub center hole: Not specified, so measure your existing wheel’s center bore. If it’s smaller than the WANDA hub, it won’t mount.
Also check offset (backspacing). This wheel has a standard offset for most rear-drive tractors, but some zero-turns or wide-body mowers require different offset. Compare the wheel’s mounting surface depth to your old wheel.
OEM part numbers vary by brand, but this is a universal aftermarket replacement – no direct OEM match guaranteed. Cross-reference with your mower’s manual or measure your current wheel.
Key Things to Know
- 4-ply rating means decent puncture resistance for residential use, but not for heavy rocks or rough terrain. Not for commercial mowing.
- Installation is straightforward: jack up the mower, remove lug nuts, swap wheels, torque to 50-60 ft-lbs. No special tools needed.
- Common gotchas: The silver finish may corrode or chip over time, especially if you wash with harsh chemicals. Tire pressure is 14-20 PSI – don’t overinflate or you’ll risk rim damage.
- Reviews (4.2/5, 12 ratings) are limited. Some users report slight wobble if the hub center hole is not a perfect match – check carefully.
Should You Buy It
If you need a budget-friendly replacement for worn rear tires on a standard lawn tractor and your bolt pattern and center hole match, this set will work. Skip it if you have a zero-turn with odd offset, need a higher ply rating for rough ground, or want a perfect OEM match.
