Lift Kit and Tire Size Combo
Brand new to the forum, just picked up my G9E last week.
Loading in the truck is a bit of a pain because it is stock. Just looking to get some more clearance on a budget. Did a little research and looks like Jake's kit is the way to go but what I'm wondering is would the cart look ok with 205/50/10s aka 18" tires vs. 20 or 22s? I have an opportunity to grab some wheels and tires up for a deal. Thanks guys |

Re: Lift Kit and Tire Size Combo
I would go w/22's and offset wheels, the cost will soon be forgotten, but might not fit on a pickup.
18" is stock height. |

Re: Lift Kit and Tire Size Combo
Thanks for the input StoveBolt.
Next question - Are 22s too much of a strain on an older G9 electric cart? I didn't want to loose too much torque so that is why I was thinking the 20s. Also, don't want to be dishing out $$$ to upgrade the electronics/motor in case I get too big tires. Any input/opinions are appreciated. Thanks |

Re: Lift Kit and Tire Size Combo
Any tire diameter increase will likely do 2 things, 2-4 mph increase and less torque.
If the cart is hanging up on the truck, have you tried longer ramps or arched ramps? |

Re: Lift Kit and Tire Size Combo
Doug,
We used pretty long ramps but they weren't quite arched, they had a cool curve to them but probably didn't help for the clearance aspect. Just yesterday my buddy said he had a couple I could try. Might do the trick. Thanks |
