I searched for the answer to what bolt pattern my BR 250es has and found that the answer was 4/110. That was good to know. However, someone comment in one of the threads about making sure there was enough room for the drums. I hadnt even thought about that. Just looked at a set that said it had 4" backspacing. I am assuming thats what they're talking about??? Is that enough? What info do I need to make the right choice? Anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance..... much appreciated.

They're talkin about the the inside diameter of the inside of the wheel. The 250es has a very large diameter drake drum. I believe there could be a clearance issue with a 'regular' wheel fitting over the brake drum. Dennis Kirk has some ITP wheels that specify a larger diameter inside of the wheel to clear larger brake drums.

9" wheels fit my brake drums.. Stock 200x 8" wheels fit with wheel spacers.

Several websites call it a large bell to clear the brake drum.
