What size?  Douglas makes different thickness wheels.

6" fronts you can use whatever you want. 8" rears are on back order from time to time.

depending on what wheel/size they make tires for the golf cart that are low-profile, more for pavement but they sure would give it a neat look for the show n shines!

I'll let you know tomorrow, I just ordered a set from NC, should be here in the afternoon.  I'm curious about the register now that they are coming.

Golf kart rims will work, almost all of them are a 4 on 4 pattern.  I just bought a set to try something different and they fit perfectly.  If you have any speculation just call the company that you are buying from and verify that the specific rims you want have the specs you are looking for
