Eastern VA. No such thing as too many Magnums.
I wouldn't think it would be that bad to have the 18.4s. Probably some of the unit gauge wheels may vibrate a little on the tracks, but everyone has been planting 15 inch beans behind tractors with duals that don't line up, or even lie directly in the row center. I wouldn't worry about it. If you wanted something narrower, there are plenty of options. 420 - 46 would be like a 16.9 width. Or you could go narrower with a 380/90-46 which is similar to a 14.9 width. Lots of guys are ordering 14.9R-46 tires on new tractors. I think they used to be pretty popular with sugar beet growers.
