What is the overall height of the tire you want to use?

You will probably need 2" wheel spacers and a 6" lift. Here's a pic of mine.

Sorry I missed it was a EZGO. any 5" lift should clear the tires The lift on my build is a 6" long travel.

The rims are very deep. I know I could not put them on a trailer. I think you will need a lot of spacer.

That's a good looking cart. Did you do all the work yourself?
