Aftermarket wheels generally come in 10, 12 or 14 inches. You can install both 10-inch and 12-inch wheels coupled with low profile tires on most carts without any modifications.

Lift Kits:

One of the most common accessories for golf carts are lift kits. Most golf cart lift kits provide 3 to 6 inches of lift. There are also multiple types of lift kits including drop axle, a-arm, spindle and long travel. Typically, a-arm, drop axle and spindle lift kits are your best bet and provide a lot of bang for the buck. It’s also important to note that a lift kit alone will generally not increase your carts clearance. However, lift kits require you to install larger wheels and tires on your golf cart which increase your carts clearance and in many instances, improve your carts speed.
