Good question. My 5 ton has 10 bolt wheels but they are on a 11 1/4" bolt
circle which I understand is a standard semi-tractor pattern and I believe the
bolts are 3/4", but of course the rear lugs use special budd inner nuts with
outer threads for the rear hubs.
There is a ten ton tractor near me and the wheels are clearly much larger than
my 5 tonner. The tires are also huge. They must be on at least 24" wheels.
Good Luck,
Dave
