Default A different wheel question

.. what is the max size wheel you can run without a lift kit on a stock DCS?

I know the tires play a big role too.

Pics if you have them!

Without a lift a 20 inch OD tire is going to be about the best you can do I believe. Cart should be a standard TXT frame and EZ runs a 20 X 10 X 10 or 20 X 10 X 8 from the factory.

Tire size determines the amount of lift needed, not wheel size. What kind if tire are you considering, street or trail?

Street and gravel/hard pack (equestrian centers). The "turf" tires that came on it are fine except on wet grass. I'd probably want something with just a little more tread.

Not planning to lift the cart, so I was looking to see if I can go up from standard.

This is a good answer. Plenty of 20" tires fit your existing 8" wheels, no lift required (unless your springs are all played-out, then you might need new ones anyway).

I want new wheels, though - that's the point of this thread.

Stock wheels are 8" diameter and the stock tires are 18.5" diameter. You can find 10", 12", and 14" wheels with low profile tires that range from 18" to 20" diameter. These will all fit without a lift.
