    I'd kill the pretty looking alloy rims in a few rides..steel for me all the way!!

    But that is why the market has a thousand choices..everybody has different taste.

    2+5, with a 1.5 wheel spacer will be about 3.5 inches wider than stock on each side
    Nice and wide, and stable.

    I mounted my mud sharks on stock 85 350x rims and mounted them with 1" aluminum spacers from E-bay:



    The mud sharks seem to work pretty damn well. I don't know if I would have chosen them, but they were thrown in with the 350x when I bought it.

    All of the larger ATCs have the same bolt pattern..4/110

    200x, 250r, 250es, 250sx, 350x..front wheels aren't interchangeable but the rears will, besides the tires not being correct for the machine they work.

    Thinking about throwing the 25" Bear Claws on the rear of my 350x just for fun!!
