Hello. Will 22x12-9 tires and 4/110 rim bolt pattern fit without any problem on a 1985 Honda 250 SX?
Maybe wheel spacers? I understand that the original size tire is 22x11x8.

I have the same question and working on it today.

a couple sx's with a couple flats each but a few 250 es tires on 9" rims with the same 4/110 lug spacing.

Will report back if I make it outside and bolt stuff up.
lug spacing seems to be the same but that's from a chart
and the tires are noticable different so I guess I'll mount one and see if the suspension
runs 'em into the fenders.

They say sx rims are odd in the sense that they need a larger bell to clear the brake drum but the es 9" may have the additional clearance.

Another thing I've noticed is that if I line up 5 tires all with the SAME numbers on them, they are all different looking sizewise.
from different manufacturers.
...so a 22" may be 20 inches high or 24.

Hey, anythings more fun than working.

I put 350x wheels on my 250sx. They would not fit without 2" spacers. They hit the drum without the spacers.

They have to be a big bell wheel to clear the drum... I have 400EX 9" wheels on my SX, and need 1.5" of spacer....

I just got a set of 9" rims that have an offset that allow them to fit awesome.
