Need help with wheels!!
Ok, I was thinking tires and wheels was going to be the simple part of building my cart, but after reading on here I'm confused!!! I have a 2007 Ezgo TXT PDS cart and making it into a hunting cart, it will have mud tires on it!! I know I want to go with 23" tires if possible, because they are not to tall and will keep my torque and speed good with the two speed axle 4x4 kit I'm going with. My big question is what offset do I need or do I even did to worry about offset and just us spacers??? If I get the right offset then do I need spacers?? If I get spacers do I need longer lug bolts???

Re: Need help with wheels!!
I wouldnt even worry about any of that crap. Just find you a nice wheel/tire package from one of the sit sponsors and mount them up:thumup:

Re: Need help with wheels!!
So I just buy a set of tires and wheels!! I was sure after reading several posts about tires not fitting or bottoming out!! Then having to get spacers because front tires sticking out further then the rear tires do, that it would be a little more to it then just buying a set of tires and wheels!!!????

Re: Need help with wheels!!
Most fronts do stick out more than the rears. Just the nature of the beast. I just bought a set, and mine are perfect front to back, and all 4 wheels are the same.(on my dropped ezgo)

Re: Need help with wheels!!
Well, I was hoping to find out what would be the best off set to buy or as you say just get a set of wheels and then worry about what size spacers to buy!! I found out by looking at 10" rims and 12" rims they have different off sets and with that being said which one would be the better one to buy???

Re: Need help with wheels!!
if you want to avoid a spacer in the rear then get 2 stock and two with the offset. I would ask the 4x4 vendor what his kit does.
The offset will give them the deep dish look. It should make the stance look more even. Until you get your kit installed there is no real way to say if you need off set or not. Most spindle lifts kick the front rims out so that is why they look off. stock rims sit even with a non lifted cart. your are doing a 4x4 kit so install it or ask the manufacturer if it bumps the front wheels out. |

Re: Need help with wheels!!
Yes it is a different kit, but I think it uses the same front end. My main question and what I was wanting to find out was maybe find the right off set or wheels size if they make them were I would not have to use spacers!!! If can't get them then I know I will need spacers and then which ones will I need???
