I pick up a pair of 26x12x12 tires for cheap. Not sure what I'll put them on yet. But I also need rims to fit them.
I offered to install them on the back of my friends Lawn Ranger, But he declined for some reason. Rick

The 26 X 12's on Alice are on 9.5" Cub wheels. The 24 X 12's i just put on the Sears are on 7.5" wheels.
 
When I got my DA 916 it had 23 10.50 x 12 on 7.5 rims and one leaks at the bead. Going to mount them on 8.5 rims.
 
I would think many collectors would have extra rims around. That and a welder would make any size rim you want.
That may be an option eventually. I've got 3 pair of 12x8.5 ( one pair are deep offset from a WH 520 ), 2 pair of 12x7, 1 pair of 12x5, and 1 pair of 12x4. I've got a lathe, welder and grinders. I could make them if I have to. Rick

I've done that before with a 4.5" cut-off wheel on the grinder. Takes a bit to smooth the weld on the pretty side!
 
A lot of what fits what depends on sidewall configuration. Some 12 inch wide tires are configured to fit on wider rims than others.
I have mounted several pairs of 12 inch wide tires on rims over the years.
As long as the wheel is at least 8.5 wide they have always fit nicely but I have had them on as wide as 13 inch wide custom wheels.
I have a pair of 24x12x12 turf tires that I may eventually mount on a pair of 8.5 Sears wheels that I have.
I have a 96 Craftsman GT3000 hydro that they would go nice on.
They came off a Craftsman GT.
The Craftsman GTs that used these had a nice factory fender flair setup and I would love to find a set to put on this one.
