Apparently some of the front wheels on tractors (the ploughing type not the gun type) also have 18 inch rims???

Not sure about removing the studs but it may be possible to just swap drums if they are the same size as 5 stud drums. I think this may have happened in earlier years when farmers who purchased ex military trucks could not find 18 inch tyres. They just changed the drums, wheels and tyre size to what was commonly available. As it says in the 18 inch tyre thread there is 18in tractor tyres available but not in suitable tread patterns.
