Default 1986 Marathon Lifted wheel options

If I get the lift kit for the 1986 marathon - 4in lift

What size tires normally can fit? Can I get by with 14in rims? Does anybody have any thoughts?

any thoughts to this? I am thinking that I definitely could do 12in rims. Here is a picture of the stance of my cart now with 8in rims.

I am sorry. I attached the wrong picture. The previous picture was with the rear suspension sagging. Here is a better and updated picture of the clearance I have to work with for the bigger tires.

it will probably take 12" or 14" rims, it would be the tire size you would need to worry about, from the pic I'm guessing 22's will work but a little concerned the front might rub on turns..

I would just play it safe and just go with 12's, considering not knowing the actual tire height addition would be.

14's with lopro tires will rub without a lift kit. Rear is barley ok.
