Hi all,
I hope everyone is well and staying safe.
I have signed up here as I am looking for advise on a vehicle that I have.
I have used the term vehicle as I am still not sure what to determine it as. It was something that started of as a kids ride on toy and then well I messed about it with and now it's essentially a street legal electric go kart.
It has a limited slip differential on the rear axle, that has 17mm transaxle with 6mm keyways. I am well aware I can't get hubs that will fit these thing and understand why it originally came with some kind of horrible plastic tyre/hub combo. I have since had some 40mm adapters made with 8mm keyways, so that I can use 40mm hubs with a 58mm PCD. These are fine and I am currently running some Jet Wheels and have no issue. My issue is that I now have zero ground clearance, the original wheels fitted to the car roughly had a 13" diameter.
I am currently in search of a tyre and wheel combo that will fit on my 58mm pcd hubs and hopefully give me a 13/14" outer diameter, anybody got any suggestions?
Yes you probably think I'm insane with this, so here is a link to my YouTube channel showing the vehicle in question and hopefully that will paint a slightly clearer picture.
Any questions ask away and if you have any suggestions, please say.
Thank-you
