Rims and tires

Just 1 More · 10-14-2017, 07:25 AM

Does anyone make the 4 on 4 rims with a little more (or less) offset and wider than 7"? Seems all I can find are 12x7 3/4 offset.
I want to do 26x12-12 & 26x9-12 on my 2017 Bad Boy Recoil
Not too sure how a 26x12 is going to do on a 7" rim. Need more offset or spacers.

There are lots of them out there. Steel and alum. Google "golf cart wheel 12" 2/5 offset".

And just so i'm understanding, 2/5 offset will move the rim OUT away from the cart like using a spacer would ????

That is correct. There is not much point in making them the other way. Stock cart wheels are usually centered. Any further offset moving the rim inward would make them virtually unusable for a golf cart application.

You might find rears for certain polaris are 4/4 pattern. Douglas used to make a lot of sizes but they are spun alum rims not cast. Mine are 3+5 so that is 3" inside and 5 outside the center, making an 8" wide wheel. Stock carts are usually 3.5+3.5, so mine have half inch more room inside and stick out 1.5 more than stock.

Might also see if you can get rims wider than 7" for the back. If the tires are true to size [although most china sh,, er, stuff isn't] the 7" rim is really gonna pull the beads in and make the tire tread "round" more. Whatcha' gettin for rubber?

Yeah.. I wanted 8's just for that reason but cant find any. I've got some GBC Dirt Tamers 26x12-12 that i'm going to try on 7's and see how it is.

There are 8s out there, but might only be in 10s or something (?) they are hard to find but I do see them, mag wheels not steel.

Rooster59 · 10-17-2017, 08:52 PM

Some non-sponsors have steel 8" wheels that are 3+5. But like anything else it never hurts to call and ask.

sho305 · 10-17-2017, 08:54 PM

Mine are actually 8x8 wheels but that is what they had back in '99 when I bought those. They are made for golf carts by douglas, of course today I'd at least get 10s. But they have always worked great.
