    What rims will fit on a 1985 250sx? and also Mudlites or Swamp fox's??

    I tried some 9 inch i have but they dont fit over the rear brake drum. I need to order rims and tires ASAP but im afraid the rims wont fir over the drum. Any ideas on what will fit? I wanted some 10 inch c-series but i dont know if they would fit, i will settle for some plain steel rims (not bent beads tho) if i can find some that i KNOW will fit. Let me know what brand/type of rims will fit. I also cant decide which tire is the best mud tire. How are swamp fox's and how are mudlites? I think its between those 2 but i cant decide.

    I got my 9" 350x wheels on my 250sx and they fit just fine. I put these aggressive 22" on there and they look pretty good and beefy and sporty too. On the 9" wheels you just need to make sure they are the correct off set and they should work fine (deeper).

    An 8x8 rim comes stock on the SX. If your 9" rim wont fit then it aint a 9". And BTW go with Swamp Foxs, a Buddy had them on his timberwolf and he could slide that thing everywhere and when it went into mud it was as good or better than the 4x4s. Just my $.02.

    It depends upon how the inside of the rim is stepped. Many 9" wont fit. When ordering new rims you want one that is designated as a "large bell". That is the purpose of this feature.

    .

    well i decided to go with the mudlites. I order those in 22x11x10 and i ordered two 10inch ams steel wheels. i think it'll look bad arse. I would of rather had chrome/polished wheels but im trying to take it easy on spending cash because TF06 is going to cost a little bit i'll post pics hopefully saturday if the rims/tires show up.

    I have a mudlite on the front of my trike and i love it, it seems to do very well all around as a front, as for rear tires you want to go with something that'll hook up good in whatever you ride in . I've been running Realtors for a number of years because i find them to be aggresive and versatile.
    There is no replacement for displacement
