How close are rear tires to body of EZGO
I have a 2003 EZGO TXT stock height and I want to put 20-1/2" tires on the rear and in measuring how much room I have between the current tire and body I have 1-1/4" on the left and 1-3/4" on the right. Current tires are 18-1/2" so going to 20-1/2" I need a minimum of 1" of clearance which leaves me just 1/4" of clearance on the left side which is just too close for comfort. The frame is not bent but could the body just be on crooked? Measure your clearance and tell me if you have the same difference between the 2 sides. I could cut the body but just scratching my head in the meantime. Thanks!

Re: How close are rear tires to body of EZGO
These 20.5 clear the ezgo TXT body but required a spacer to clear the leaf spring on hard corners. The gold color cart is older 2008 and the white cart is new style 2014. Both with the same size rear tire. The white cart has lost 300 pounds of battery weight with a lithium conversion so it may be sitting a little higher than the gold colored cart which has a few more years on the springs as well.
This is my go to tire for the ranch. Big sidewalls makes for a smoother ride and no lift makes for a lower center of gravity resulting in greater stability in rough terrain. And big lugs work great with big motors |

Re: How close are rear tires to body of EZGO
Put some longer shackles on the rear and that will help.
Edit.. Also if you have a dealer nearby go see if they have any pull offs. The turf ag carts mostly come with the 20.5” tire and people like to upgrade. At least they might have a used one you can check clearance with. |

Re: How close are rear tires to body of EZGO
Thanks for the reply's. I actually lowered the back with a 1-3/4" square tube because added heavy duty 3 leaf springs when I bought the cart and I like the lowered look and handling (and I know I'll be raising it 1" with the bigger tires). The only clearance issue is the very lower part of the body opening, seems like the body is off somehow.

It’s possible the axle shifted on the spring so might want to check that.

Re: How close are rear tires to body of EZGO
I have taken multiple measurements on the chassis and I’m sure the differential is centered on the springs.
