Is it possible to have wide pegs and not have to lift the peg for kick starting?  Any pictures?  One company advertises them on line but the pictures do not look like the 175 in my garage, maybe it is a 250.

Which company is that ? The 175 and 250 engines are very different,the kickstart shaft is near the top of the gearbox on the 250, near the bottom on the 175.

Is the TY175 frame the same on all years?

add note

 There was a trail kit as some models were sold as trail bikes.

I have the same issue on my Ty80b.  I don't think you can have long pegs without them interfering.  You might be able to move the pegs in front of the starter, but I just fold up the peg and then start it.

The kickstart will clear the pegs with the TYOffroad kit

No. Some TY175 models have the sidestand mount on the left side footpeg bracket, so if you use aftermarket footpeg mounts on that model you lose the sidestand. As far as the aftermarket footpegs kits are concerned, the are designed to fit all TY175 models.

There are also quite a few other frame differences between the two types of TY175 frame, but I suspect you are only asking about differences that affect using an aftermarket footpeg kit.

This one has a right side kickstand but does not look like the picture with the pegs on the web site

You may need to provide info about which website if you want people to know what you are looking at.

If it is the TY offroad website photos you are talking about, the frame in those photos is a modified TY175 frame. It has the swingarm pivot location moved forwards of the frame upright so it does look a lot different to standard in that part of the frame.

I don't know why you want to use anything but the original footrests.   Way back when,  we all used to shorten our fixed footrests so that they cleared rocks easier, we soon got used to  the shorter pegs.

If the Kickstart clouts the footrest, a long scaffold tube and a big vice is all you nee to give your kickstart shaft what-ever bend you require for clearance.
