17" Honda Rims?
My Dad is offering to sell me these Enkei Honda rims for one of my golf carts. They're mounted on 205/40R17 84H XL tires. I have a few questions, 1, would these bolt right on my stock hubs, 2, do I need spacers and if so what size, and 3, what size lift kit will I need? Will a standard 6-inch drop axle work, or will I have to stack lifts?
Thanks guys! I'll update with more pictures once it's done. |

Re: 17" Honda Rims?
as for the spacers, and the lift iam not sure, but untill you jack the cart up and set the wheel in on the hub, your not going to know how big of spacer, or if you even need some,, and it would help if you hold us what off set the wheels have, and it looks like you have a PDS cart, is the F/R switch on the dash??, if it is, your going to need a bigger controller to roll the tires, the stock one wont take the heat

Re: 17" Honda Rims?
Thanks for the response! I did some more measuring, and it seems like a 6-inch lift should be plenty, and as for spacers I guess I'll find that out after I install the lift.
It is a PDS cart. With these rims only being 17s, would I be okay on mostly even terrain? |

Re: 17" Honda Rims?
I found out that my stock lug nuts are too large for these wheels. I was looking on ebay at smaller "keyed" nuts, but all the different sizes are confusing...what car has the same threads as a golf cart?

Re: 17" Honda Rims?
Thanks for the response! I found a lot of 1/2 x 20 nuts online, but I can't find anything small enough to fit in the wheels I have...seems like maybe I need keyed lug nuts? (A 3/4 hex is too big).

Re: 17" Honda Rims?
Honda might be 4/100mm, I am sure the nuts are metric maybe 12mm which is just smaller than 1/2. If for a fwd car the wheels often have a lot of positive offset they may sit in too far.

Re: 17" Honda Rims?
you will need keyed nuts, they are expensive. take off one of your stock wheel nuts off and take it to an auto parts store/tire shop and get them to price you out the required set.

Re: 17" Honda Rims?
Thanks for the posts guys. You're right about the keyed nuts. I'm thinking that 2" spacers should make the wheelbase how I want it.
