Yes
Thank you. I'm looking to replace one of my wheels and the one I'm looking at that is advertised, has a larger width front tire on it than mine. I just wondered whether they made a wider front wheel.

I can't swear that there weren't other wheel sizes like the rear rims. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I can answer that.
The front wheel is a standard wheel. The one used on the standard Cub and the offset Cub Lo-Boy are identical. However, the same style wheel was made in a variety of widths and used on many brands of lawn and garden tractors, including Cub Cadets. A wheel that someone is describing as from a Cub or Lo-Boy could be a wider rim had found its way there as a used or replacement wheel.
Thank you for the info.

Jim Becker has you covered on the wheel size. I noticed you're a new member so I'll throw this in. If you are talking about a Number Series LoBoy that's a different animal and different wheel sizes. JMHO Stan
Looking at the ad again I see he has it listed as a Cub Cadet Lo Boy wheel. Has a 5.3-4.5 x 12 tire on it. I have a feeling it's wider than a standard Cub.

A picture would answer a lot of questions. Some 154's had solid wheels that were held on by the spindle nut (I have 2 of those). Others used lug nuts to attach the rims. Can't tell which ones without looking it up. I think I've seen pics of 154's, 185's and 184's with 12 inch balloon type fronts, rims with lug nuts. We're all shooting in the dark until we find out what he's got. JMHO Stan
yes that is the ad

Did you buy it or annoy the seller with questions to the point where they pulled down the ad? 
5.30-12 is a common trailer tire size. They can be squeezed on to a Cub rim without too much trouble.
