Meet the Best Fit: 22 Inch Golf Cart Tires and Wheels

Winter may quiet things down on the course, but it can be a great time to start thinking about how to upgrade your cart before spring. If you've been feeling like your current setup is due for a change, you’re not alone. While some carts stay tucked away through the colder months, we like to use this slower season to plan for smoother, better-looking rides once things warm up.

One upgrade that stands out year after year is switching to 22 inch golf cart tires and wheels. They do more than just change the look of your cart. When chosen with care, they can help improve ride comfort, off-road handling, and even the overall feel behind the wheel. Let’s go over why sizing makes a difference, how 22 inch sets compare to the standard ones, and what to think through before making the swap.

What Sets 22 Inch Tires and Wheels Apart

Not all golf cart tires are created equal. A typical golf cart rolls out with tires between 18 and 20 inches tall. So when we talk about 22 inch golf cart tires and wheels, we’re talking about a bigger setup that adds height and ground clearance to your ride right away.

That extra height helps the cart handle rough or uneven ground a bit better. Whether you're driving through gravel, loose grass, or hills, larger tires offer wider contact with the ground and that can lead to better grip and more steady performance. It's no surprise more cart owners want this size, especially those who use their carts off the course or all year long.

• 22 inch tires lift your cart higher, giving it a tougher, more capable stance
• The added height helps clear small obstacles and bumpy paths
• Wider tires often mean better balance and smoother handling over rough ground

Will They Fit My Golf Cart? Here's What to Know

Before anything else, the most common question we hear is simple: Will 22 inch tires even fit my cart? The answer depends on two things, how your cart is set up, and which model you have. Most stock carts aren’t tall enough for a tire that size, so a lift kit is often needed to create the extra space between the tires and the body.

Each cart brand makes slightly different models with their own measurements. That makes shopping more detailed than just grabbing a tire and hoping it works. Club Car, EZGO, and Yamaha all use their own mounts and setups, so we always make sure to check for specs that match your exact cart. That way, everything fits the way it should and rides how it’s supposed to.

• Stock carts usually need a lift kit to fit 22 inch tires comfortably
• Always check sizing for your specific Club Car, EZGO, or Yamaha model
• Compatibility often depends on tire width, wheels, and the existing suspension

All-Terrain, Street Ready, or Showroom Style?

Big tires aren’t one-size-fits-all. Picking the best match depends on more than just the height. What your tires are made for matters, especially if your cart spends time off the fairway. Golf cart tires come in slick treads for pavement, knobby patterns for rougher ground, or hybrids that work in a little bit of everything.

Beyond traction, looks play a big part too. If you want a cart that stands out, the finish, color, and style of the wheel can totally change its personality. Glossy black wheels might give a rugged vibe while chrome brings a cleaner, more classic look. And quiet rides matter to some more than grip. If you mostly cruise paved paths, low-noise tires may be the right choice.

• Use treads made for grass, gravel, or pavement depending on use
• Pick a wheel finish and color that matches your cart’s style
• Decide if off-road grip or smoother street driving matters more

Things to Keep in Mind Before You Buy

Going bigger with your tires does more than just change how your cart looks. It also affects steering, speed, and ride comfort. Wider tires may need a wider wheel, and in some cases, a stronger lift kit. That’s why we always talk through your goals first. Are you going for appearance, higher function, or both?

Terrain matters too. If your cart mostly stays at the campground or travels paved neighborhood streets, you’ll want something different than a cart that’s used to climb hills or cruise through rough trails. Other things to think about are pressure settings, wear-and-tear from different surfaces, and how easy they are to keep clean and in shape through the year.

• Tire width can affect the type of lift kit you'll need
• Always match your setup with your usual terrain and riding style
• Maintenance and air pressure play a part in keeping your ride running smoothly
