wheels?

[banjobenjamen]

I was wondering what kind of off road wheels can I put on my go-cart. Its a smallish one that I want to upgrade with bigger tires. I thought about 4-wheeler wheels but I don't know if they fit?could I make the back axel longer to accomadate wider tires? my main question is what are a good type of wheels to use?

northern tool have tyres. somewhere you should be able to find the rim number/ code like 3.50/4.00. any tyre with that code should fit.

You need to measure the hub. Measure the distance form bolt to bolt. There are some good deals at this site http://baileynet.com/index.php?id=58 i like the atv style tires.

Also, The drive axel has different sized ends. Can I get a drive axel with the same size ends?

It's going to cost you lots of money to change over to quad tires.

what is the hub?

the hub is the plate that goes on the axle and has the bolts for the rims.

is your kart a one wheel or two wheel drive?

it would be a 2 wheel but as u can see in the pictures one side is rigged with a lawn mower wheel. that side needs a hub. then it would be 2-wheel druve.

look up go kart hub and get one that will match the bolt pattern of the wheels you want.
