Do Holeshots tend to balloon like stock tires?

[Blaster_Kart]

I am building a Blaster powered Kart, and I currently have holeshot rear tires. They are pretty wide and low profile for a quad. Do these tires tend to retain their flat profile at speed, or so they want to balloon out like stock tires tend to? I am trying to determine needed clearance between the top of the tire, and the fender frame rails, which is why I need to know how much these tires will distort at speed. Any help is appreciated. BTW, I am hoping for a top speed of around 50 or so depending on gearing etc.

TIA

Soon. I have welded in the majority of the support system to hang the motor. Securing the axle will be the difficult part for sure. I'll post up some pics once I have made more progress.

you could always use the blaster swinger and that would give you a rear suspension

 

[Blaster_Kart]

Nah. Go Karts dont have suspension. This is a rigid mount death machine

maby use the axle carrier an fab up a bracket to bolt it up too, my cart uses a riding lawnmower axle with a differential so i could have left an right brakes makes it easier to turn tight corners

I had a go kart w/out rear suspension and I sold it b/c it was to rough on me.

There should be some give in the tires to where it wont be a total back breaker. I had a go kart before and it had no suspension. Didnt bother me, though I was about 15 years younger, and it only did about 30.

I plan on sacrificing a stock swing to harvest the carrier mounts and integrating that into the frame. If that does not work, I will fab up some carrier mount setup. Either way, the stock carrier will be used.
