Default G29 on 22x10x14's or 22x10x12's W/ 3" Spindle Lift

I'm picking up my stock 2014 Yamaha G29 fleet cart (electric) this week and want to get my order in for my lift, rims, tires, etc...

The carts mainly going to be used for neighborhood cruising, and some explorations but nothing crazy. I want to keep the ride smooth but I also want it to appeal to the masses b/c I plan on selling it soon.

I'm going with Jakes 3" Spindle lift and 22" Tires. For wheels I'm going with the Madjax Element Wheels (Machined).

I love the look of bigger rims so I was originally thinking go with the 14's on 22x10x14 Timber Wolf Series A/T Tires but I've never seen what 22" tires w/14's looks like before. I'm scared the tires will look to thin, and not aggressive at all. I'm also wondering if there will be much of a ride comfort difference b/t the 12's & 14's.

The question is should I go with 12" wheels and a more aggressive looking tire or 14" rims Timber Wolf Series A/T Tires?

wish i had pics.... 22 x 12 is definitely the way to go, it gives you a nice side wall, where the 14 looks more like a low profile tire. so if your going for more of street look low profile hen go 22 x 14

Here's mine lifted w/23"x1o-12. Should give you a decent idea of the look of the tires:

Just found this picture of a Gas powered G29 on 23/10/14's with a 3" lift and I think I'm in love. Is there a problem with putting 23's on a electric with a 3" lift?

And here's a 5" lift on 23/10/14's with the same rims I want. The 14's just jump out at me everything I see them.

I found these pics by BeerBuggy. These are timberwolf tires and I assume these are 14" wheels b/c they look huge. I guess these are the 22/10/14's with the rims I want b/c I dont think the timberwolfs come in a 23". To me this looks like enough meat. Can anyone confirm this?

Personally, I think the 14's look too low profile & don't allow enough flex in the sidewall to help soak up bumps.

I roll the Timberwolf AT's in 22x10 on 12" rims with 3" spindle lift:




IMHO I think 14" would produce too low profile of rubber with a 22" tire. You'll end up compromising some cushion from the sidewalls too..
