yes,18" is stock height and 8" is correct rim size

Thanks 0517murphy! I live in the jungles, am new to GC's, and do not have much cash to spend. So I searched a lot on here ( so much information..so cool!) and was pretty sure i was understanding what could, can't and probably should not be done or used( regarding tires sizes, width and lifts etc..)

I would like to get a set of 19 or 19.5x9.5-8 but can not seem to find any.
Do you have a opinion on spacers? I would like to add a little extra stability and was wandering if 1in. or 2in. spacers would help, be safe and fairly basic to install?

[0517murphy]

I would think 20" would be easier to find, and yes the spacers will widen stance and help stability , prefer the solid spacers versus individual screw on type.

I just want to be 1000% positive that the 20"s will fit without rubbing on anything.
As well as making sure the width is ok Do you know if 10' wide will fit? or should I stay at 9.5 or 8?

Do not want to over work the stock motor and loose any torque...is there gonna be a real big difference in the ride ( and fit) between 18", 19.5" and 20"s?

10 foot wide may be a little much to ask.

[0517murphy]

I would guess the 20" would be ok if the rear isn't sagging too much. basically 18" is stock 19.5" would be 1 1/2 taller size and 20 would be 2" taller.(but thats only 3/4" and 1" taller on top of wheel/and bottom) now with that said. heights on tires are not exact in inches. hope this helps

[lawnripper]

in your opinion is there any function to having lets say 20' in the back and 19 or 18 in the front? like for steering and fit and handling?

[0517murphy]

Not really that much of a difference. most carts will handle 20" tires without issue. IMO.

yurtle I just got that one! hahaha 10ft. wide is def out of the question. hahaha

Listen I am going tomorrow to pick up to back tires. I am more concerned about the width not fitting.. my options are:

18x10-8 turf tamer by Carlise or
18x8x8 ITP Quad Cross

I live 5 hrs away from this place and really need to make sure there will be no rubbing on the sides etc..

The Quad cross will for sure fit.
Will the 10 in. wide fit as well ( on the back?)
