Welp... They do not fit?!

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 are already listed in the classifieds. you were right in that pm Louis... this is just waaay to wide.

omg I see the problem now!! the shape of the wheel!! My GBC aluminum rims fit becouse they dont dish in as much as a stock wheel does, man I feal terrible, that I told you that they should fit!!man I feal like a slut!! I have an extra set of 8's and if I can get jason to bring his sx over tomoorow I'll see if they fit and send them to ya!

Man, I didn't want to mention names. but there were a few that told me that they would fit. It's really not a big deal.

well since my 8 inch fit jasons sx I thought for sure that the 9's would fit with no problems on yours, well I pmed jason to see if he vould bring his sx over in the morning to see if the set I have fits

That don't sound like a bad idea John. never even thought of that but have no way of feesably doing it.

Another problem I seen would be torquing down the nuts on the long bolts as one side would be inside the brake drum. I think I'd just rather pass them on and let someone else that can really use them have them.

[QUOTE=chris200x]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.

Good god!! I'd never run spacers of any length on an SX except for something real small. Those outer bearings support everything and the swingarm is pieced and bolted together with 4 10mm diameter bolts into an aluminum differential. Way too much force for the SX axle to handle. It will bend without you seeing it and chew the inner splines of the ring gear away. It's happened to me with a crappy 85 rearend and huge jumps....

It's an 85 thing.... The 86/87 SX rears are a much better design and I run 200X stockers on one and 85 250R's on the other with no spacers.

Maybe longer studs with 1/2 or less spacers would work for you and save you some bucks. How much do you really need or is it just jammed on there against the drum period??

you know... your not the first person to tell me that! Huffa had said those same words to me just a few short days ago. Unfortunalty I had already made the purchase. I believe I would need about an inch of something for those aluminum jobbers to fit. Unfortuatly they have sold aldreay! So it seems like I'm back to just my beat up old stock Sx rims.

anyone have some SX rims cheap?

i've got some 8x10 rims that came off my 85 sx i'll trade ya, they're not in the greatest shape but i know they'll work
