New 12" Front Wheel

[dirtydeeds]

I'm looking to go with a different front tire. The factory front rim on a 350X is 11". There's not a lot of rubber that will work. Options open up if I can jump to a 12" rim.
I bought a cheap 12" steely from a quad, cut the hub out and will make a hub to fit the trike. It'll work but its not my first option. I'd rather stick a nice aluminum one up front.
Anyone know of a supplier that can help out?

Yamaha Tri-Z's had 12" front wheels, not sure if the bolt pattern will cross over for you. Personally I'm not impressed with the selection of 12" front tires available either. I think this is why a lot of people try to swap to 10" fronts (very difficult for my tri-Z due to the huge front hub, but probably easier for you if you decide to dip into the 250R parts bin...

That's good to know. I'll check sizes available for the 10" rims.
I wonder if a Tri-Z rim has same bolt pattern as the Hondas?

what size tire are you hoping to run??? i just ordered a 22x7x11 tire for my front.. (350x)... its supposed to be a nice size for the motocrossers that are running 18" tires out back.. im running 20s out back on 10"rims and think the new front will be a great match...

Building it for mud. Hoping to put a 26 or 27 on the front and 25s on back.
