Advice on front hubs / wheels for off road kart

[jonnox]

Hi,

Would love to hear some advice on options for front hubs on a offroad project I picked up. It is a modified Murry. Looks like the old front tires were just farm hubs using bushings (22x8-10 tires). The current spindle is 5/8 bolt about 4 inches long. I'm open to all suggestions, even thought about maybe trying to find an old ATV knuckle so I could use 4x110 hubs or something. The tie rod connects to the C with a bolt through a tube with bushing (just less than 4" tall).

Putting in a 308cc with a torque converter in it, using it around the property.



The old wheels below. I bought new tubes for them but thinking I should replace the whole mechanism.

The last pic shows what looks like riding lawn mower rims "jankily bolted" to some bigger rims

Probably want some rims like these

8" Steel Rim (4 on 4)​

Thanks this is super helpful. I was thinking maybe doing a trailer hub (similar idea). Would you use a spacer to switch from 4x4 to 4x110 or another more common ATV wheel pattern?
