You’d have to change the brake spiders, move the camshaft, and move the brake chambers to go with the bigger brakes. It’s not a small job.
I guess theoretically you could get some custom wheels that are 22.5 but have the 17.5 bolt pattern, they may even make such a wheel, but I’ve never seen them.
Possible to convert 17.5 over to 22.5

Looks like they are the same. 8 hole, 275mm bolt circle 221 mm bore.

I doubt I will jump on the disc wagon yet. I don't feel there are enough of them to justify the hope that someone has parts for them. But I may just save up and get two axles completed and swap them out. My guess is since its an open spread the fitment shouldn't be an issue. And I will see on the deck height. He claims to have gotten them because he hauled air seeders and with the 17.5s, he stayed under 14' tall. Which doesn't require escorts
