Rear wheels same as front?

[C Kerley]

I'm fixing up an '84 125M and it's going to need new wheels and tires all around. I see where I can buy aluminum wheels for the rear brand new, but none are listed for the front.

So I get to looking at the wheels that came off of it and after measuring them from all angles, I can't find where they're different. I was telling this to my dad while he was here, and he tells me he's certain his '85 Big Red has the same wheel front and back.

I looked on servicehonda and Bike Bandit schematics and they show the same part numbers for the rear and front.

So...if that's the case when I order new aluminum wheels/tires for the rear of this, I should be able to order one more that will bolt right up to the front hub....right??? Or am I overlooking something painfully obvious here??

Schematics I show are same all the way around as well. - Originals were split rims FYI.

The originals are the same all around 8x8 with zero offset (4+4).

The problem is finding a replacement with zero offset for the front. Last time I looked, the wheels I found were 5+3 offset and this won't work on the front.

Also, the listings only include "rear" but if it's zero offset with a 4x130 bolt pattern it should work fine on the front.

You want the douglas rim. Blue label, 8"x8", 4+4 offset, 4x130mm bolt pattern. Dont forget to get new 10mm studs for all your hubs. Douglas wheels are 10mm holes and you have 8mm studs on your 84 atc125m. I just got all new for my 85' 125M. I bought the red label 8x8, 5+3 offset for the rear. Go to this website. http://recreationtires.com/dwheeldisc.html They ship for free and come very fast. Im mounting AMS fox radials on them. These tires are the best replacement for these little machines if you ask me.
