Hi I wanted to share what I have learned regarding wheels and tires for the Ford Think. Stamped on the back of the original wheel is the off set. Which is ET 20. This is a positive offset. All other golf carts have a negative offset. Thus when you put a 3x4 offset wheel on it will stick past the fender 2 inches plus depending on your tire size. There are no chrome 14 or 15 inch wheels with a positive offset that will fit on a Think properly. The only 14 inch chrome wheel I found was one with a 0 offset. This was the RHOX Vegas Chrome wheel. > **[14" RHOX Vegas Chrome Wheels (ET-0) | LowPro Tires Combo](https://diygolfcart.com/14-rhox-vegas-chrome-wheels-et-0-lowpro-tires-combo/)** > > Tire and wheel combos give you more value for your hard earned buck. Take a look at our extensive supply of golf cart lift kits, tires, and wheels. Check out the rest of our website for low prices on all golf cart accessories. I mounted Duro Excel 225/40-14. This tire is 1/4 inch wider then originals. This tire is 21 inches tall. 1/2 inch taller then original. These tires look and ride real nice. They hang out 1 1/4 inches past the wheel well. Any wheels with a larger offset then 0 or with wider tires will extended out even more. Being 1 1/4 inch past the wheel well works ok. Does not spray me. I bought my set from Golf Cart Tire Supply for $720 mounted and delivered with lugs. I could not figure out how to post a picture. When I do I will post my cart. I hope this was helpful ---

The RHOX RX342 14" rims have a ET-25 offset and when installed on a Think they stick two inches out past the fenders which for my taste looks awesome. There is no chance of rubbing as there is several inches of clearance through the entire turning radius. The wide stance looks mean. I’ve never been sprayed and flying around over 40 mph if I was going to get sprayed by the wheels it would have happened by now. I was just at Publix a couple of hours ago and when I came out I had a group of people standing around my Think. It draws attention where ever I go. It’s funny people always think it’s brand new and they always comment on the rims. They also ask about buying it but I always tell them no way. For me I wouldn’t even consider another rim as at $689.00 for a set of four they look and fit perfect and that includes the tires, lug nuts and shipping, but to each his own. ---

How does your vehicle go 40 mph. I believe mine will only go around 28 mph ---

First step is to program your controller. I also upgraded to a D&D motor and added lithium batteries which are pumping out over 96 volts which makes this thing scream ---

Just wondering can AT Tires be used? I like the 14" lifted tires but don’t know if they will work…I see most have low pro tires. ---

> [@David\_Illingworth](#): > > RHOX RX342 14" rims have a ET-25 I’m getting ready to purchase some new tires and custom rims. I’m debating on 12s or 14s. What tire size did you go with on the 14" rim and how does it ride with the lower profile tire. Either way mine will ride better as I now have fat terrain tires. They have a noisy tight right. ---

I bought these from eBay. Perfect fit; only had to trim small bit of aluminum bracket for wheel clearance. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/8/86b67bde745b45a415dec3774d0bbc2621e98fcc.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/3/38b559883b3326adf805edc25fe8b62ede45e9c3.jpeg) ---

What size 15" tires did you go with. I’m more of a bling guy and tend to lean towards Chrome. Was thinking 14" with 205/30 tires, like David did, as the clearance looks good, and I don’t want to modify or cut anything to avoid rubbing. ---

After a lot of consideration on height, ride, look, price, etc., and coming from 23" tall tires, I went with TRANSFORMER Machined Wheels and 215/50-12" Comfort Ride DOT Golf Cart Tires. They had a $100 price increase the day after I purchased them, so I guess I was lucky. The tires are 20.5" tall and 8.5" wide which are very close to the stock 21" x 8.50" - 12" Think Specs. They stick out about 2", no rub and the ride is real smooth. ![20211020_152425](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/8/8d2b1ff66606f9b608a2f85ab0fbdaa0b42d1a61.jpeg) ---

I had the same question. I have a steep hill in my backyard that slips with the current bald tires. I occasionally go 5 miles to the store, but I’d definitely prefer better off road traction.
