Are you going to load the cart? The screw on spacers are not as strong as the solid spacers.

If i do itll only be around the yard but im hoping to turn 25in wheels with a6in ch super sport lift .

Thanks rock i searched it earlier that didnt show. Ill try it with my steel wheels and watch for cracks i need an excuse to buy some ITP rims anyway. The rims i got with the tires are offset out 1 in towards the out side of cart (WRONG WAY} Thought id get a set of 3 s for front and 4 s for back i put lift on i cant have the cart down for more than the day..

GA, You should go with a 7.5" SS if you want to clear 25" tires with 2" spacers. The 25's would probably be fine without spacers on the 6"...

Hey NUT ...... I think I remember Ruredy saying something about the screw on lug extenders and that if they were going onto a set of aluminum wheels it would be a better choice than to put then on a set of steel wheels. It DOES kinda make sense that the steel would flex more ......... Hang on, someone will be here soon that can confirm that, or tell me I misunderstood and it was the percocet talking ........... See there Flintrock already did .......... Doah!

percoset, steel tends to flex and then susceptible to cracking with the extenders, aluminium being more rigid is safer..... I bought the solid spacers and don't worry

Yeah I saw that ......

The mind isn't working very clearly and definitely not as quickly and as as the fingers are right now. ........
