EZGO 5 Lug Hub
I want to changeout the tires/wheels on my old ezgo limo electric cart, but the hub has 5 lugs and I can only find 4 lug tire/wheels. Is there a place that sells 5 lug tire/wheels; have a 5-to-4 lug adapter or do I have to changeout the hubs.
Thanks |

Re: EZGO 5 Lug Hub
I'm wondering if you can find 4 lug hubs that will fit your spindles.

Re: EZGO 5 Lug Hub
And if I recall correctly, the 5 lug setup is a axle/hub combo, with a separate drum (with 5 stud holes in it). I think it's gonna be spacer/adapters, or other 5 lug rims you find.

Re: EZGO 5 Lug Hub
I'm in the same boat Piratecu. My ezgo shuttle project has the 5 lug set up as well. It's either stock steel wheels, or automotive wheels if you stick with the 5 lug. I am looking at adapters but have only seen high prices ($299-350) for a set of 4. Tough justifying the purchase, but I'm almost there.

Clubcaral,
I'm there for purchasing an adapter. Do you have the vendor who sells the adapter? Thanks |

Re: EZGO 5 Lug Hub
It may be easier to get 5 lug rims, just have to watch the OD. What is your bolt pattern?
I assume the below calculator is without weight on the tire, but https://tiresize.com/calculator/ shows 215-40-17 will be 23.8" OD and looks pretty cool. If it were me I'd take the time to call up a local junkyard and ask. The one near me is (I think) $45 for a rim/tire combo or $180 for a set of four. |

Seemed like a solid guy, said it would end up spacing the wheels out a little over 2.25 inches as a result of the adapters. I will keep looking for the other guy and update when I find it. |
