We have our camper on a seasonal sight and bought a golf cart (used) at the endl of the season from someone who was pulling out and no longer needed it. Hate to say I "think" it an EZGO. One of the guys that camps there has a barn and stored/maintianed the batteries for it over the winter for a small fee. He said the tires kept losing air and would probably need replaced. SO I got to thinking, I parted out a few trikes and have extra wheel/tires in the shed. Found these lift kits that are supposed to accomadate 22" tires but require offset rims. http://www.buggiesunlimited.com/golf-cart/4in-economy-lift-kit-ezgo-electric-1980-19945/LKT%20EZ1%200002
So my question is has anyone else tried this? If ya did what rims did you use? Any input or pics would be appreciated!

I've seen plenty with all the camping we have done. Just wondering if anyone has tried using 3 wheeler rims/tires. Like you said the sky's the limit with these things as long as you have the $$$. I'm trying take the cheaper way out and free up some space in my shed at the same time.:naughty: Thank for the links though! That second one looks all tricked out.:cool:

I have a 3 wheeled golf cart with a 200x or 350x tire and rim up front. Yes it required some modifications but it made a big difference in turning and ride. For the rears I made adapters to mount 4/110 rims. I currently am running stock golf cart tires on the rear.

WOuld hub extenders work instead of trying to get specific offset rims? What is the pattern on a 200s?

200s rims are normally 4/130mm bolt pattern.
