Just so every one knows its possible to fit 11 in wide tires without buying 6" long spindle nuts you just need a hammer(clearance) and a welder(to strengthen them). Here's where i'm at right now about to put a vulcan 500 engine in her. This is after the hammer job haha just make sure to add enough reinforcement after or you could end up badly. Obviously getting new ones is probably better but hey this has worked fine for me.

well a 11" wide tyre does require a ~10" wide rim..
not necessarily an extremely wide HUB

So yeah, just get a kartwheel front hub (three hole)
something like that:

and a matching rim
(say with a 4" offset)

both should be available for the yerfdog spindles I think (but common sae sizes escape me currently)

you are aware that 11" wide front wheels will be a huge PITA to steer, right?

yup, I just i have already driven the kart its not as bad as you would think unless you're stopped. I bought them for the rear because my rears are getting worn but want to run them up front for a bit and switch them over when needed.
