250sx with 200x front end rims tire set up

[vanvranken]

can I run a bear claw tire up front with 200x front end,or is it to wide and will rub?want to run bear claws in back what are the sizes??

[350for350]

The stock front tire for the 200X is a 23.5x8-11. If you can find a Bear claw in this size, it should work fine. The rears on both machines were 22x11-8 stock. If not, there has been a few people who have put a 10" rim on the front of their 250R. Maybe this could work on a 200X front end as well.

Call Douglas rims , they sell new ones I have one both 11” and 10” for my 350x , same volt pattern offset etc as the 200x. Also check ebay there’s a guy in so cal who usually has them in stock. That’s where i bought my 11” one from.

I found the rim on ebay.listing says it fits 350x,200x,250r.i tried my 85 200x hub on a 86 250r front rim I have don't fit????

That’s strange. I was under the impression they were the same. I was even told the rims I had on my 350x were OEM 200x wheels, wich made sense cause they didn’t look the same and the tears were 8”.

I might have been sold the wrong front hub.not sure how to identify it????the ebay listing said came off a 85 200x.248098248099

Everything I’ve read said they swap. Maybe you have the wrong hub. Idk. Measure it center of stud to center of stud then multiply by 25.4 , should be 170mm , at least that’s what I’m reading.
So there might be a difference from 85 to 86 on the hub and wheel. I’m reading the 85 is 4 on 176 and the 86\87 is 4 on 170. Hopefully someone can verify. I don’t own either bike. Only a 350x good luck
