Default ezgo jakes long travel ?

Ok im thinking of getting the jakes long travel for my 98 ezgo. I have 8 inch wheels would they work if I bought spacers for the front untill I get some 12' wheels or would I need the rims first?

If they are the stock wheels they won't work. There's no enough offset in them to keep from hitting.

If you put a 1.5" spacer you should be good. I'd go with 2" though, because when you do put the LT on, it pushes the wheels out in the front and it'll take a 2" spacer to even out the back with the front. Thats what I did when I put the jakes LT on my old ezgo.

You will notice the difference in how it rides and handles.
