Re: How big can I go on wheels?
I would stay with 22x12s with a 4" lift, not sure 23s would clear the brake peddle and 14s with less side wall is going to be a rough ride = Just me.

22" for me too, more lift and move the axle forward you would be good to go, but you will lose a lot of torque bigger than 22"

Re: How big can I go on wheels?
Well looks like you guys just saved me some money, I’ll stick with 12” on 22”” tires. As always, appreciate the knowledge.

Re: How big can I go on wheels?
Tall tires can seriously effect the workload on the motor. 23 " tires are a 22% increase in size over stock tires. This 22% causes an equal amount of torque (power) loss. When I'm asked about upgrading an electric cart with 25" tires I cringe.

Sometimes the rim width may make a tiny difference in tire width or height due to tire expansion when inflated but very little. |

Re: How big can I go on wheels?
No idea. I wouldn't own low profile tires on a bet. But that is just me.
