I'm looking into building a scorpion go kart. The only issue I have is, the back wheel is supposed to be a 12" tire. I can't find anything this wide anywhere.
Wheel to fit 12" tire

I doubt a 12" rim either.....12" total diameter (tire + rim) is more likely...
to be precise I think the specs call for a 12X9.00-6
means: 12" overall diameter, 9" tyre width, 6" rim diameter, (rim width 10" btw.)
like say a maxxis ht3 for example
DWT or Van-K both make 10" wide 6" kart rims (as many others do as well)

huh... strange.. very strange...
well, I have no idea, but I've seen some scorpion (we talk about spider carts, right?)
with non-kart wheels on the internet.. some with rather large wheels;
so, maybe a golf cart wheel, maybe a lawn tractor, maybe even a car wheel... I have no idea.
12" is a lot! well, at least for a wheel diameter less than 20"...
(metric that's a 305/xx - yy ; yy being the rim diameter in inches xx the height in percentage "50" for example would have a 6" sidewall height)
They did it?, ask them...
Sorry.. but as long as we don't know what wheeldiameter (or rim diameter) we're talking about it's pointless to make a suggestion.
But one thing I can tell you, with less than 10" wide rims you'll run into troubles, you'll also will with rims wider than 13" maybe 14"
So, dial in your rim width as close to the tread width as possible! (11.5" - 12.5" ideally)

^ive decided for now that I'm just going to run two side by side knobby tires. I'm going to be spending a lot of time off-road with it.
