New wheels and tires don’t fit. Even though same size as old wheels and tires?

Am I doing something wrong?

These new aggressive lugs sit lower on the tire and are catching the tie rods on both front wheels. Old tires and wheel were the same size but, not as aggressively made with the lugs so low. Can I save them or just return them? Spacers seem a bit silly. They should fit if they are advertised as the right size, right?

May want to check the offset.

Back spacing is different. Old ones are 3” from the rear lip pushing them out more. New ones are 3 3/8” from the rear edge making them closer to the hub and pulling them into the spindle.

I ordered by vehicle. Is there a range for Club car DS?

It appears I did not received 3:4 offset wheels?

This will be fun to ship back now since my wife recycled the boxes!

I would just make some 3/8" spacers and get riding. But that"s just me.

I see your point. If I had a cart with an odd offset and had to make them work, I’d definitely do that! Seems like these wheels are the problem so I’d rather get the right size. If I ever go to sell them I’d rather have no stories and they could just bolt on the next cart.

I’ve got wheels and tires that same size on it now just raw aluminum and I don’t want to keep up the polishing. Since I’m riding now (if it will stop raining) it’s no rush. Although, it’s looking like rain another week more still.

If I find a box, it’s just a label away from not being my problem. Just annoyed they sent this odd offset.
