14" Club Car, non-lifted

[strick22]

Gentlemen,

New poster here. I recently installed heavy duty rear springs and lifted the front with a 5/8" aluminum block. (Madjax) makes one.

I know for certain that a 14" wheel will fit with no issues, no rubbing and accordingly under my cart. What I don't want however is the "sticking out" look. I'd like them tucked. Any information on a particular offset? Further, a specific tire size. I have ran across 205, 215 and 225 mm tires, and not certain what may or may not rub with a particular wheel. Any help would be beneficial.

Thanks,

Strick

When you say sticking out are you referring to the wheels looking like this /-----\ (neg camber).

Walter, thanks for the response.

I'm not speaking of negative camber, I want them tucked under the wheel wells, and not sticking out beyond past the imaginary line via the length of the cart.

3:4 wheels with 205 tires fit pretty flush.

This is with 205 40 r14s gtw pursuit wheels the rears rubbed a little with OEM leafs replaced with HD and it was good. The fronts would rub at full lock but it was manageable. I ended up lifting it a few weeks later so I'm not sure how bad it would have been to live with.

This was my nonlifted cart with the same size front block and had springs like you have. 215-35-14 tires. I have no idea what the offset was. There wasn’t any rubbing and There wasn’t anything sticking out, at least not until the bumper starts to wrap around the front. I have since sold these wheels, lifted cart 3” and went to dual action springs. The combo of very low profile tires and hd rear springs was a very rough ride. If you go on exclusively smooth, paved streets, all good. But the slightest bump, like a root pushing up through a golf cart path, will jar your bones.

Man, both of those carts sit just right. Nice!

I like the wider tire that Beach Guy has, but I like the tucked look of both units. Didn't think a 3:4 offset would look quite like such. I'm surprised. What I don't know is if Beach Guy's unit is a 3:4 but it certainly looks it. One of you added the lift block and the other didn't. Did the lift block solve absolutely all rubbing issues? Now I just need to find the wheel I want, but with a 215 tire. Hope I can. Thanks fellas.

Cynikal Mindset - Thanks brother. How about a 215 tire?

In this link, it says they were 3.5+4.5 offset. I did not notice any rubbing issues with the block in the front. But when the wheels were turned all the way to one side, the back of tire was less than half inch from touching the frame. And I believe the hd springs I had also lifted the back an inch or so. I only drove the cart about 20 Miles with these tires on it. So I didn’t get much real world testing.

Beach Guy - You mentioned you went from a heavy duty rear leaf set to a dual action rear leaf set. What's the difference? Is there a difference in height/raise in addition?
