Wheel widths for Cub Cadet Challenger 500

[Novice forever]

Hi everyone. I am very new to asking questions on Tapatalk, but here goes. We have a Challenger 500 and need to change tires and wheels for road use. Stock tires on it are 26x9x12. I found a tire kit but the tire wheel widths are different. They are 25x8x12 on the front and 25x10x12 on the rear. The 8"wide front seems like it would work, but will the 10"width rear work? Will there be an off set from the 9" to the 10"? I know this manufacturer is not as hipo as yours but any help would be greatlyapprciated.

Stock, are the wheels the same width front and rear?

Yes they are

I don't have any experience with this vehicle, but there might be an suspension interference issue with running a wider rear wheel depending on its offset/backspace. Safest thing would obviously be to run the same 8" width wheel and tire on all four corners. A narrow tire in the rear with less grip should help turning on the pavement if the rear diff doesn't unlock.
