    Welp... They do not fit?!

    So after posting a thread a while back I was told that stock 9 in. 400ex rims will fit my 85 SX no problem.. Well. I finally got them in today and they aren't even close.

    I'm thinking maybe a set of wheel spacers will help being that I'm already $50 in the hole. Anyone have any other ideas?

    I had a few PM's asking if they would fit so I just thought I'd make a post to let evreyone that is/was intrested know that the stock honda aluminum jobbers won't clear the brake drum..

    Live and learn I suppose.

    I'm thinking these will bolt upto a 200X, 250R, 350X no problem.

    Do they even make a large bell 9in. aluminum rim?

    Oh my god Chris, I forgot that I just saw a 82 250R for 250 bucks, in our area! It needs carb work (your speacialty) and the swingarm is off but it's all there!

    The 82 still has the wide front tire like our SX's have but for 250 smackers, it seems to be a steal!

    I'll see if I can find it.

    UPDATE .........it's gone already

    Oh well... I'd be looking for a place to live if I brought another one home now... I got the quadrunner tore apart in the middle of the garage at the moment.

    But you got some room left in that garage of yours don't ya?

    So does anyone have some rims they'd be willing to trade straight up?

    Dennis Kirks got 4 on 110, 9"x 9", large bell rims with 3/6 backspaceing, they are ITP T9' Pros and they run 68 a piece from them, sure you could find them cheaper.

    Chris, man that sucks. I was told here that stock 200X rims would work on my SX(I'm pretty sure it was wheelie pop who tole' me)& damn if I didn't go & get a set- WRONG!!!!But hey, I recently got a pair of 10" rears from ATCtim that I can't use- I'll send you for what I paid, if you can use 10inchers. do a search on my posts- there's a pic in there. Off subject, but I spoke to Brapp last night, & he said a few of us drinkin' boys oughta ride soon. I'm looking forward to a PA ride!TGG........................................

    You know.. It just so happens that I just now won some 2 1/2 inch wheel spacers on that evil auction site. They should help provide the clearance I need. If they don't the rims and spacers will be in the classifieds here shortly.

    Me and Jason85atc250r are heading out for a Sunday ride this coming weekend. Kinda short notice... but with hunting season in full swing Sunday's are the only day to ride the trails and pits without getting shot at.

    WTF! my 8 inch flat tracker rims that were on my 85R fit on longbed's 85 sx with no problem other than putting some washers on the right side so the rim wouldnt hit the brake drum, bolt pattern on the sx is 4x110 same as the R and almost every other honda on the plannet, you will need at least 1/4 in washers per stud on the right so the wheel will clear.

    Thumbs down hmm...

    More trouble... Now I'm over 100 bucks in the hole. The spacers I got will let the rims bolt on. but it's gonna be way to wide for my style of riding. escpecially in the rocks and such. and now I don't think It would fit in the back of the ranger. I guesw the rims and spacers will be going into the classifieds here in a bit.

    Dude that sucks. Seriously sell what you've got and look into something else. You know I bet something off one of the newer style utility 4x4 quads would fit.

    They will not fit 200X. The studs in the 200X hubs are too short for later OEM aluminum rims.

    You need a large bell rim for the drum brake.
