Lift/stability question

[Mike Mac]

Look good to me, Jim, but they might be a bit wide wide for a 4 1/2" lift. Might rub. Somebody will come by that knows, I bet.

Right. I am thinking a 5" x 3" negative offset wheel would do the trick. These atv wheels are 5" x 3 1/2" offset and look like they'd fit. The tire would come real close to the mud flap on the rear. Its lifted 5 1/2" in rear. The fronts 4 1/2", but I think the fronts would be ok. Might rub on full turn, but I am used to that on my truck! These are 6 ply, and with them mounted 2 additional inches out each side, I think it would help with stability.

Your thinking correctly the way I see it!

A thought on the camber issue you mentioned earlier.If you have a weak/tired coil-spring in a front shock,and the cart is leaning it will change the camber on that wheel(also effectively on the opposite wheel,but not as drastic).Alot of Yamahas' seem to lean to the left,especially the older ones G1,G2,maybe others.If this is the case,measure the shocks from eye to eye with the cart parked on a flat surface,make sure you bounce it a few times by hand to settle the suspension before you check it.A difference in measurement will show a weak coil.Quick-fix is the collar mentioned earlier,or new coils.Hope this helps.

Or (quick test) switch shocks side for side.
