Get a lift kit. Those tires are too tall for stock height cart. G22 can take max 20".

There was no rubbing before I put on 2” spacers? The spacers are causing the rubbing. But I want to keep the spacers for the look.
Is there a cheap lift like 1”? Block lift? Just want a little clearance so it does not rub.

You can trim the wheel well if you want and/or add fender flares but there's no going back if you cut something.

Mostly there's 3", 4", 6" lifts. Not really worth the trouble for 1"

If I lift Just wondering how will low profile 12” rims and tires look on a lifted cart

And if I don’t lift how will fender flares look and a non lifted cart?

I have seen cheap lift kits for the g16 like block or bracket style but I understand that g22 has coil over shocks and the block type lifts don’t work?

You could try adding spacers on the shock springs to give them a bit more preload. You would have to remove the springs from the shocks, find and add a spacer to fit, and put the springs back on the shocks. Usually the top spring retainer has a slot in it. But you have to compress the spring to slip the retainer off the shock. That is how, in theory, but I haven't looked at Yamaha shocks to know if they are built that way.

Spacers I added to the rear springs on my Yamaha Drive. 1/2 inch heavy wall tubing. I added them to help with body roll/sway and it did add about a 1/2 inch to ride height.
