front wheel 250 ES

[Chopsaw]

Trying to buy a ITP steel front wheel for a 85 Bigred . Are the front and rear the same ? I know ,,,, search key ,,,

Point me in the right direction please ,,, I'm having a stupid attack .

Thx , Chop

According to the manual they are all the same. 25x12x9

I wish these sites would sell by size instead of brand. I've found about five sites and there was no search for size application that I saw.

I know the size is the same front to back , I'm lookin at the off set . They all say " fits trailprotrailpro ride " but the size is wrong ,, 12 x 8 ,,, 10 x 6 ,,, rear only ,,,
Can't be this hard ,,,

Thx for the reply ,,

Hey Chop,

Here is a similar post that I placed a while back and was answered by Capt. Ron:

I'm probably going to pick up a Big Red this weekend, and may want to outfit it with a tire and wheel package similar to what you've done.

You mentioned the rims you bought from Dennis Kirk... was the front rim the same width & offset as those on the rear? Any issues with the valve stem interfering with the brake drum, or is the valve stem on the right side (I couldn't tell from that one picture)?

Thanks!


Here was his response:


"The rims were all the same size and offset for front and rear - 6" outside offset, 3" inside.

Valve stems do not interfere, but should be short as possible".



I would post a picture (if I could figure out how to do it from my phone) of his set-up. His Big Red looked good.

Let me know what you decide to do and post some pics. I have not yet bought any new wheels for mine yet.

Well , I have a rear wheel and tire on the front now and its to close to the right side . Maybe my forks are tweeked , or I might have the wrong spacer in there , just thought of that .

Looking thru old threads now , there was one that listed wheel info .
