want to run live axle on my minibike

#1
I want to run a 1 inch live axle on my mini drag bike. I believe I'm going to use a 6x6 rim.

Question is what back space do I need? Or do I get a centered rim. Also what would the ideal tire size be?(slick) thx.

The back space can be offset. The centered rim is a plus, but a offset rim would work just the same. The ideal tire size depends on the rpms your engine will push, the gearing you want to run, and the length that you will be racing on.

if using a regular kart slick the tallest I found is 12" so a 12/6.5 or 12/7.0 will work... I use the carlisle smooth 13/6.50-6 on my bikes... not an actual race tire but they work..
