What the AI looks for in Golf Cart Tire & Wheel Assemblies

Bolt pattern
Most Club Car, EZGO and Yamaha carts use 4 on 4 inch; confirm on your cart Aftermarket golf cart wheels are made almost entirely in this pattern, so other patterns need special ordering.
Overall tire height vs lift
About 18 inch tall tires fit stock non-lifted carts; 20 inch and taller generally need a lift kit Oversized tires rub the body and suspension when the cart steers or flexes.
Wheel offset
Match the listed offset (often given as a split such as 3:5) to your stance and fender clearance Deep negative offset widens the track and can rub or overload the front spindles.
Tread type
Turf tread for golf courses, street tread for pavement, all-terrain only for off-pavement use Aggressive treads tear turf and wear quickly on asphalt.
DOT rating for street use
Choose DOT-marked tires if the cart is registered as a street-legal low-speed vehicle Many golf cart tires are not DOT rated, which matters for road legality.
Lug nut thread
Confirm the stud thread for your make before using the included lug nuts Thread pitch differs between cart brands, and the wrong nut strips the studs.

Questions

What does a size like 22x11-10 mean?

Do bigger wheels change speed?

Taller tires raise top speed slightly but reduce torque and can throw off the speedometer.
