Club car Ds wheel spacers

CCScooter

1999 club car DS with low profile tires. My cart is actually my white cart I use for my avatar. My question is has anyone used the 1, 1.5 or 2 inch wheel spacers? I would like to move my back tires out 1.5 inches. Here’s another question. The front tires on a Ds are about 2 1/4 further in then the back tires. So my question is if you move the backs out 1.5 inches should you move the fronts out 3 inches? They would still not be the same but a little closer. Or should you just do 1.5 spacers on all four tires? Or maybe 1.5 in the back and 2 inches in the front. Any thoughts?

Or is there a reason the front tires are further in then the back?

Thanks everyone

BGW

The wider stance in the rear is for roll over stability, the narrower stance in the front is for a tighter turning radius.

I've done exactly what your thinking when I still had my stock suspension,
I put 2" spacers on the front to even out the stance so it "looked" better!

However, I found a problem with it...
On a tight left turn, the drivers side tire rubbed/locked up on the intake duct mounted in the wheel well of the drivers side floor board.
I swapped the spacers to 1" on front and no spacers on the back to avoid the rubbing,

I later installed a Jake's 3" spindle lift which moved the tires forward, and widened the stance,
I kept the 1" on the front, and put the 2" on the rear and it came pretty close to even without the rubbing.

I'm sure that you don't want a lift with low pro's, so just 1" spacers on the front should help with the visual aesthetics, and no rubbing.
if you still want a wider stance in the rear, you can space them out as much as you want with minimal issues.

I use 1.5" on the rear and 2.0" on the front of my '90 CC and they work great.

I have an 01 with a lift and wider tires. The rears were rubbing a bit on the inner well so I ordered a set of 1" spacers all around. Stance is good, no more rubbing and steers same as it ever did.

Update

I installed 1.5 spacers in the rear and the front. The front did rub. I purchased the club car kit for Buggies Unlimited that moves the front end forward 2”. The front still rubbed barley. I then installed a front end heavy duty front spring. The spring is not only stiffer but is raises the front end up 1 1/4 inches. No more rubbing. I’m going to try 2” spacers in the front next.
