Can Golf Cart Wheels be Universal?

Lifted Burgandy Golf Cart for Sale WheelsDifferent golf carts require different wheels. There are many different types and sizes of golf cart wheels available; not only are they different in size, they are used for different purposes. Some golf cart wheels are designed for specific brands of carts, while others are universal. The type of wheel you need depends on the make and model of your golf cart. Making sure you have the proper wheels on your golf cart is extremely important to the functionality of your cart.

EZ Go, Club Car, and Yamaha are universal for golf cart wheels, as long as the cart has a 4×4 pattern.  However, larger carts may require a more specific kind of wheel.  If not the wheel, they will require a different lug nut to support the wheel.

Different Golf Cart Wheels Available

There are many different types and sizes of golf cart wheels available, and they are used for different purposes. You now know that there are multiple different sizes and types of wheels available, and that some will work on multiple different types and styles of carts.  It is also important to understand the difference between the tread patterns and thickness of the wheels, as well as which tires to use when.

Some of the different types of golf cart wheels available include:

  • All-terrain wheels: All-terrain golf cart wheels are designed for off-road use. They are made of durable materials and have a thick tread that can handle rough terrain. All-terrain golf cart wheels are a good choice if you often take your golf cart on trails or other off-road areas, such as on sand; however, they do not have as deep of a tread as off-road wheels.  These tires, however, are not allowed on a golf course.
  • Off-road wheels: Off-road tires have a thick, knobby tread to them.  They are often used for activities such as for hunting and use on the farm.  However, keep in mind that if you have off-road tires on your golf cart, that cart will not be allowed on the course.  The tread would end up ruining the course as you drive on it – similar to all-terrain tires.
  • Street legal wheels: Street legal golf cart wheels are designed for use on paved surfaces. They are actually one of the most common tires to find on a cart; if you have not touched the wheels on your cart, they are likely street legal wheels.  They usually have a thinner tread than all terrain wheels and are not as durable. They are also less likely to get stuck in mud or sand and can provide a smoother ride on paved roads.  If you plan to only use your cart on the golf course and the road, these are the right tires for you.

A Guide to Golf Cart Wheels

If you’re looking for universal golf cart wheels, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, not all golf cart wheels are created equal. Some universal golf cart wheels are better quality than others; some brands are inherently more durable than others. It’s important to do your research and read reviews before purchasing any golf cart wheel, universal or otherwise. Second, even if a golf cart wheel is advertised as being universal, there is still a chance it might not fit your specific cart. Be sure to measure your golf cart’s current wheels before ordering to ensure a proper fit. Or, ask an expert for help.

Finally, keep in mind that universal golf cart wheels can be more expensive than specific brand wheels. If you’re on a budget, it might be worth checking with your golf cart’s manufacturer to see if they offer any discounts on wheels.

In summary, golf cart wheels are not always universal. The type of wheel you need depends on the make and model of your golf cart.  If you’re looking for universal golf cart wheels, be sure to do your research and measure your golf cart’s wheels before ordering.
