Bigger wheels tires on stock 84 g1a cart

hotrodharley · 12-04-2011, 04:57 AM

My first cart;;84 yamaha g1a;;going to use it to pull my fuel altered drag car around pits and back to pits after a run;;;;thinking of choping roof on it so thinking keeping stock height but using hd springs because will be hauling 4 pit crew persons plus start battery for race car;;

what would be my biggest wheel/tire combo i can use?
I was thinking maybe a bigger wheel/tire on rear and smaller wheel/tire on front to give cart the old hotrod look[cars from 70"s]..what size would i use then?
Want to buy wheels/tires monday as soon as i know what to buy...pics be good also so i can see how they look..
One more thing;;;i don'y like the look like kuds are doing nowdays on the suv's and cars;;know what i'm talking about?they putting huge 22's and bigger wheels with the rubberband tires;;;hate that look myself;;i'm a old timmer

These maybe over kill for what you want but they work great for the old Hot rod look in my opinion. These are regular VW wheels and old Pony wheels.

One of the first carts I did this to.

This one stays at the beach house and it's 48 volts now.

Here is the dragster.
This was while I was changing the body out and fixing to send it over and have the rollbar redone.

OK,
that's the drag cart. Just had it torn apart for the new body install.

This was how it was bought.
