As a rule of thumb what is the best front and rear wheel base to start out with and then play around with it from there?
Hey Glenn,
I think you asking about width? Wheelbase would be the distance between the front and rear wheels centers, which is fixed on most karts.
Assuming it’s not a junior kart.
Front width should be somewhere 45 – 46 inches and the rear 54 – 55 inches.

NO!
front 49
rear 62
:bs: 😛 😉 :bang :redmen :jokerYeah sorry about that I meant width. Is that to the inside or the outside of the tire?

Outside of tire to outside of tire.
Helpful hint: when measuring rear track width, stick the tape measure through the middle of your hollow axle rather than measuring from the outside. It’s easier to get an accurate measurement, and your exhaust pipe/chain guard/sprocket/etc. won’t be in the way.
