everytime I find a set of wheels I want they are european pattern. Anyone know where I can get 17mm spindles at a decent price? Im building a wagon and all the weld on spindle/bracket kits seem to be 5/8 spindles. Is there a weld on kit with brackets that comes in 17mm? if so where can I get it? also Ive read on here thats its recomended to buy the same size wheel and tire for the front, and a one inch wider rear wheel than the tire for the rear. If thats the case and Im going to get 4/4.5 tires for the front and 6/6.5 tires for the rear(not sure what rear size yet, its dependent on brand) what mm front/rear wheels should I get? sorry for all the questions, but Ive been reading on here for a while and find everything very helpful, but everything seems to revolve around american patterns, but all I see for sale is euro patterns! thanks

Hello, I have no problem finding american bolt pattern wheels on Ebay. I buy them all the time along with the spindle kits, (5/8") Hubs, Axles, etc.. that are american. Mike bean sells the hubs to fit as well as the rest of the parts needed to complete your BSR or Wagon! I would go with american if I could! If you can not then you may need to find a European Kart Shop to get your parts! I have seen Metric spindle and other parts on Ebay also. Check out Ebay! Welcome to the forums and Good Luck! Keep us posted on your build!:thumb:
