Dude, if you put a more descriptive title on this thread instead of crying for ambiguous "help", you'll likely get tons of help.

Anyway, measure your axles or hubs or whatever you have.

Or provide some photos of what you have. What are the wheels for?

Sounds metric! Is this a race kart?

Obviously, you can post pics, how about a couple of the whole kart?

And...yeah...hole to hole ( centers). However, knowing WHAT you need is only 1/2 the puzzle, you still gotta FIND it.

Well I think there are only 2 sizes of wheels... Metric and American.
Which one did you buy? There was a description right? and they Do Not fit?
Well then you need the other.

3 sizes: Metric, Standard, and Kalifornian.

Eric, it's probably what you say, a case of buying the wrong measurement by system. However, as we like to say : " Assume nothing." He could be buying the right measurement system wheels, but measuring incorrectly.

It's an emmick frame that's all I know this is the only pic I have of the kart right now haha. I really only need one rear rim.. I do know that the rear axle diameter measures 1 1/4" and it has a 1/4" key if any of that helps

Like I said I'm a total newbie haha the rims I ordered were totally wrong the bolt pattern on the rims were too close together compared to my hubs. I didn't measure anything before I bought them I figured it looks like the same bolt pattern so it should have fit but I was wrong obviously
