How big can I go?

toolman0114 · 10-12-2012, 06:49 PM

I have a 1989 EZGO Marathon, Currently have 18x9.50-8 tires on the back. They need replacing, what is the biggest i can put on my NON-lifted cart?
Looing for direct bolt on 4x4 bolt pattern.
I was thinking 20x10x8 will these fit the on the rear?

You might squeeze 20" tires on it,but they will rub.Lift it 4" and run 20" or 22"x11"-8" or 10" (8" or 10" rim).The only bolt-on rims,other than new golf-cart rims are some Polaris Quad Rear-Wheels(same bolt-pattern).New 8" steel rims with a 3"-4" or 2"-5" offset are as low as $16 each.4"-5" economy-lifts are as low as $80.Check the site-sponsors for deals.Hope this helps.

I would rather not lift it, might have to find some 18x9.50-8, they are a little bigger than stock tires.

I know a couple of folks that are running 20X8X8's on stock suspensions and not having any trouble with rubbing etc.
Happy Trails.

Not sure what size these are but the seller says they work without a lift and the picture looks stock size. (the link is just for reference)

These you can fit with no problem.There are 205/30/12 Tires on 12" Wheels.They measure from the ground 17 1/1 inches tall.Anything bigger than the and your gona need a economy lift or just go with a 5" drop spindle.

Sweet, where do I get them & how much are they?

I just found a pair of tires for my cart and I want to know if they will work.
They are high speed trailer tires 18 x 8.5 - 8, these are the same size as my front tires which are actual golf cart tires. These are for a trailer on 4' x 4 rims for $40 each, cheaper than actual cart tires.
Will trailer tires work? is there any issues by using them??

My cart had 20" all terrain tires on the back when I bought it. It had links tires in front but 20" on back. It did not scrub at all. They took up the entire fender well but didn't scrub.

Agreed, 20x9.50x8 Scorpion knobbies fit my non lifted Ezgo easy.
