Make these wheels fit!
So I picked up a set of 4 of these 205/50-10 tires and rims for $50 with hopes that they would fit my 2003 Club Car DS.
Tried to put them on and I can't get them to go all the way on. Too much space between the wheel and hub. How do I make these fit?...or can I? IMG_2953.jpg IMG_2955.jpg IMG_2954.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Small wheel spacers may help you out of it's worth it to you.

Re: Make these wheels fit!
Why don't they fit? The dust cap on the hub? Pull it off. The wheels have a sealed center cap. They're OEM wheels. I've used them on stock DS cars more times than I can count without any issue.

Re: Make these wheels fit!
The center opening where the center cap goes does not fit over the stock DS wheel hub. The center opening is too narrow it appears. I was surprised as well. Forgive me if my terminology is not correct but it should give you the idea.

Re: Make these wheels fit!
It seems pretty tight/more like too small of an opening. Can it be forced on with a rubber mallet?

Re: Make these wheels fit!
These wheels came out when the Precedent came out in 2004, which was the same time the sealed hubs were introduced. That's the only variable here. I'm guessing the old style hubs are slightly larger in diameter. I've never measured them. It's possible that the only DS cars I've ever installed these on had sealed hubs (2004 and up) Text me. I have a solution. But you better hurry. I'm leaving on a big ship in the morning. lol

Re: Make these wheels fit!
The hub is "sealed" yes.... I was referring to the new style hubs, which used "sealed" bearings vs tapered greaseable bearings like the ones found in your hubs.

Re: Make these wheels fit!
Is it worth a try to rubber mallet them in? It seems a spacer may work but I don't like another $120 investment on top of a $50 bargain. I don't know the width difference since I don't have a Precedent to compare to. I am surprised they changed the width. These rims and tires are very close to new.
