Learn how to fit 14" Tempest Gunmetal Grey wheels with 22x10-14 Timberwolf off-road tires on your lifted golf cart.

Quick answer

The 14" Tempest Gunmetal Grey wheels paired with 22x10-14 Timberwolf DOT all-terrain tires require a minimum 5" lift kit for proper clearance on most golf carts.

Why lift height matters

The 22" tire height is taller than standard golf cart tires, which means the wheel well and body panels can rub without extra clearance. A 5" lift kit raises the chassis enough to accommodate the taller tire profile during turns and over bumps.

If your cart currently has no lift or a smaller 3" lift, the tires may contact the frame, especially at full steering lock or when carrying passengers. Measure your existing clearance before ordering.

Tire width and offset considerations

The 22x10-14 Timberwolf tires are 10 inches wide. Combined with the Tempest wheel's offset, the total track width increases. This can cause the tires to protrude beyond the cart's body, which may not be allowed in some neighborhoods or course rules.

Check your local regulations regarding tire protrusion. If you need a narrower profile, consider a 22x9.5-14 tire instead.

Decision rules for fitment

  • Lift kit minimum: Install at least a 5" lift kit before mounting these 22" tall tires. Without it, the tires will rub against the cart body during normal operation. Measure your current lift height; if less than 5", upgrade first.
  • Check steering clearance: After installation, turn the steering wheel fully left and right. Listen for rubbing sounds. If contact occurs, add wheel spacers or adjust the steering stops.
  • Verify bolt pattern: Ensure your cart's hub bolt pattern matches the Tempest wheel. Common golf cart patterns are 4x4" and 4x101.6mm. Measure your existing wheel or consult your cart manual. If uncertain, remove one existing wheel and measure the bolt circle diameter.
  • Tire pressure adjustment: Run the Timberwolf tires at 15-20 psi for on-road use and 12-15 psi for off-road. Lower pressure improves traction but increases tire flex and heat buildup. Start at 18 psi and adjust based on ride feel and tire wear.
