Another problem is stock cart wheels have no offset, the cart will not be as stable. The 8" douglas kart wheels I have are 3+5 offset they are actually 8" wide too compared to 7" of most and stock wheels. I built my lift the 8s work fine but most lifts do say 10" wheels now. If you buy 8s you have to get the ones dished (bell) in the back to clear the drums, with 10s any atv wheel with the 4/4 pattern will work IIRC.

The stock wheels are 3.5+3.5, so a 3+5 wheel has .5 more clearance on the inside to clear frames/fenderwells/etc., and sticks out the side of the cart 1.5" more for stability.
