I would stay with 22x12s with a 4" lift, not sure 23s would clear the brake peddle and 14s with less side wall is going to be a rough ride = Just me.

22" for me too, more lift and move the axle forward you would be good to go, but you will lose a lot of torque bigger than 22"

Well looks like you guys just saved me some money, I’ll stick with 12” on 22”” tires. As always, appreciate the knowledge.

Tall tires can seriously effect the workload on the motor. 23 " tires are a 22% increase in size over stock tires. This 22% causes an equal amount of torque (power) loss. When I'm asked about upgrading an electric cart with 25" tires I cringe.

Just for reference the rim diameter makes little to no difference in the height of the tire. If a tire is 23" outer diameter it is still 23" outer diameter if the hole in the middle is 12" or 14".

Sometimes the rim width may make a tiny difference in tire width or height due to tire expansion when inflated but very little.

Do they make 22” tire for a 14” rim?

No idea. I wouldn't own low profile tires on a bet. But that is just me.
