wheel questions

[BIGREDFREAKE250]

hey guys.

wanting to know some info on wheels for the bigred.


i found these on ebay and was wondering would they fit?

they have a 4/110 pattern and a 3+6 offset. would they fit the front too?

thanks for any info.

im guess they will,from the lack of replys

The offset is correct, but I wouldn't hold my breathe that they would be perfect. I had the run a .200" spacer on the front of mine to get it centered, even with the "correct" offset on my ITP wheels...

Yes they will fit per the specs but like Thorp said sometimes you have to shim it a little bit, not sure why tho, as all the rims are the same on the BR if I remember right, so you would think the same spec (offset) on an aftermarket wheel would be okay? I bought a set similar to those for our 85 BigRed but only put them on the rear. I ended up getting the .190 thickness though, little more resistant to bending.

Here is what we are going to put on the front.... I have yet to test fit it.





What are you going to do for tires?

[BIGREDFREAKE250]

we are going to try to get them for the rear first then get the front one later.

these are the ones we are wanting to get.

for the tires

rear are 25x12.5x9 bearclaw tires
front is well dont know the name.

ITP Steel 12x7 Rim, 2+5 offset, and of course on the 4/110 bolt pattern..it's a perfect bolt on for the trike both front and rear.

The front offset is spot on centred in the forks so no need to spacer!!

Then you can mix and match tires of your own preference since there are so many to choose from in 12"



Here's just one I've done this one..looks badness too!!

I still think my bike has the sickest tires ever.. executioners... (props to doug on this one). She goes through anything except 3 feet of snow!
