Evening all,

Hoping for a bit of quick advice Re: Wheel sizes.

I've just purchased a new set of Kartline slicks, Rears are 7.1/11-5, Fronts are 4.50/10-5.

Having measured them up, my old wheels are 115mm (Inside to inside) and 170mm (Inside to inside).

Having hunted around it seems like 120/175mm seems to be the more common measurements for wheels (I can also take advantage of some slighly cheaper pricing from kartpartsuk if I order a set).

My question is this, does 5mm make any kind of difference, or am I (once again) obsessing over nothing?

I suspect I'm stuck buying 175mm rears at the very least - buggered if I can find any 170mm!

Any help tonight much appreciated, the wallet is out!

Many thanks,

Rob
