What width wheels do i need to buy ?

[Joe-405]

I am finishing the 125 shifter kart..............

I have some 10x4.5x5 Fronts and 11x7.1x5 rears but do not know what wheel widths will actually fit.

I am ordering from BMI for a set of polished DWT's as soon as i get a confirmed answer so thanks for the help ! And yes i called BMI but she didnt know anything.

I think these but not for sure.............. @ 4.5 width front and 7.25 rear

Yeah, they should be ok

Without seeing the tires .....it's hard to say....but for aesthetic purposes you might want to go to a 4" on the front and a 7" on the back.....

Both would work. ...the smaller rims just set the bead in a little further from the tread which is a little different look..

I like the rims to be inside the sidewalls.....but it's just a cosmetic thing.....

And I don't know exactly how much these tires will line up with those rims...just saying.....it's something to think about. .

yeah the next size down is a 3.25 width rim. But yes i do agree, i like to not scratch my wheels also !
