Welcome Dewsey! How you use the cart will determine what kind of lift you need/want. Assuming it's a TXT, a couple of friends of mine are running the All Sports lift kits and they haven't given any trouble but we don't beat our carts very hard.

Stock rims size is 8 inches as for tire size all goes on how high it sit after the lift

My personal experience is with the 'cheaper' solution spindle lift kit.. It's good enough for the look of a lifted golf cart, however, it doesn't add anything in terms of better suspension, more travel, etc... I installed 12" rims and Carlisle Alltrails. Don't have any complaints, since I don't do a lot of off-roading...

As with most lifts you need bigger, offset rims or wheel spacers for clearance. About the biggest tires for a 8" rim are 22". I think the drop axle lifts are better than spindle lifts, spindle lifts are for tractors and riding lawnmowers, they multiply the amount of leverage on your steering, axle and suspension components. Many people use spindle lifts and have had no problems with them, I guess it depends on how much abuse you put your cart through. EZ_Go has already designed a drop axle lift for your cart and sells the kits or parts to do that. The all sport lifts are a good choice also, One of my carts has an Allsports lift and for three years my wife and kids have tortured it with no problems.
