What Model & Year is my Yamaha Cart?

Much like automobiles, golf cart wheels are available in either steel or aluminum construction with a multitude of styles and finishes. All standard golf cart hubs comply with the 4 on 4 lug pattern which means four equidistant holes spaced around a 4-inch circle. Standard golf cart wheels start at 8-inches, however, thanks to after-market lift kits and popular trends such as low-profile tires you can easily install 10 or 12-inch wheels (and even larger with further modification) if that’s the look you’re going for.

All about Lift Kits

So you are thinking of putting a Lift Kit on your Golf Cart?  The question is what type of lift kit should I use? Spindle? A-Arm? Drop Axle? Long travel? The answer is that they all work and it depends upon how and where you plan on driving and taking your Golf Cart.

Golf Cart Spindle Lift Kits are some of the most popular kits available for their ease of installation, utilization of the factory suspension, wider stance for increased stability, and incredible quality at an affordable price.

-Extreme Kartz

Golf Cart Axle Lift Kits are made to replace your existing front axle with drop axle design.  A drop axle lift kit will have a radius in it tapering down to the spindles.

-Extreme Kartz

Golf Cart Long Travel Lift Kits are by far the best performing lift kits money can buy. If you are an off road extremest or want a mean looking machine, this is the lift for you.

-Extreme Kartz

Golf Cart A Arm Lift Kits are most commonly made for Club Car and Yamaha golf carts. Most Yamaha golf carts, at least the earlier models, had A-Arm suspension from the factory. Golf Cart A-arm kits are designed to remove your front suspension and almost entirely replace it for a more comfortable ride.
