I am needing some education on using wheel spacers on 5" repro go power rear wheels .
are such spacers available? and if so what tire size should be run with them.
anyone have a line on buying some?
thanks

4.10-3.50 X 5 is a good useable size. Ted

I respect vintage karts and how hard it is to find the absolute perfect period correct parts thats why I have spent so much time searching for palmini hydraulic brakes after years of searching I came up with two complete units that I was going to use in my kart restore. then I came to realize I rather make my kart custom not custom where I cut and weld and hack it up but custom in the way that I can bolt different hardware on it to show my creativity . so I sold both of those palmini brakes to people on this site and I will make MY 1960 Capitol Kart UMP special a drag kart with more engines on it than you are used to seeing Please dont hate me I respect you all and look at it this way how many years do we have left anyway shouldnt we be having fun? Im trying to

Re: wheel spacers for 5" go power wheels
Remember if you want spacers for unusual wheels, I can provide .DXF files from your dimensioned sketches. I've done the Series "I" 4" Go Power spacers, as well as the 5" Will Rogers CT Alloy spacers. I usually try to keep water jet cut spacers to 1/2" thickness. They work very well. TJ

Re: wheel spacers for 5" go power wheels
I was all excited about getting spacers for my wheels then I realized that if I installed 1" spacers that their wouldnt be enough thread on the end of the axle for the retaining nut so I think I will be staying with the skinny 4.10/3.50-5 on the rear hope they dont spin to much

Re: wheel spacers for 5" go power wheels
keith You should be ok with 1 in. spacers. this will move the inside wheel half in and the outside wheel half will stay in the same place on the axle. also there is a 1 in. set on ebay right now. Jim
