Jcb 3cx 2wd

Has anyone got a good 16” front wheel rim been put on a Jcb 3c or 3cx 2wd not split rim type thanks

I thought, may be wrong, that the fronts were usually 18in.

16'' is the standard size on both. 18'' tyres usually rub the chassis on full lock.18s were often fitted afterwards on 3Cs and were standard on 3Ds.
Vicary Plant might have something Mark.

For how hard it is to fit new 16” 3 rib tyres at my old age you would of thought I was putting a 16” tyre on a 18” rim lol when I was a boy they was easy but they was the jobs that made me a man lol. I have got a 3c split rim but I want a 16” non split rim for my 3cx as it’s one of my restoration projects may buy a new rim . vicary plant said they haven’t got one . Thanks for the reply’s

I found on the old 3C that the 18inch 10.5 would work but the 12.5 would catch the loader.
BTW in an emergency a 7.5 ton 6 stud lorry wheel will go on, although well offset.

I suppose these would be too expensive?

Our first 3C had long arms and was fitted with 12.5 18in wheels/tyres. They did not have much of a rib on them and would slide on slippery ground but carried the machine on soft ground well. Kept the wheels and long arms when we swapped to a powertrain. Found that the 12.5 drive wheel type would not clear arms so dropped to 10.5.
