Tri Z front rim replacing for different size?

[czac]

I have like a 24" front tire on my trike, its a tri z front end and the tire is HUGE... Im not finding anything smaller than a 23" tall tire on line, does anyone know of a tire MFG who makes something in a 20 - 22" tire for a 12" rim? a great size would be a 21-8x12 tire. that said, I can also just swap out the 12" tri z rim for a 10" ???? rim. but what 10" rim will fit the front end? like a rim that will use the same sixe axle as the tri z? any guesses?

If you go with the 10in wheel you have to change the forks and hub to 250r. Look at the link.

If you slide your fork tubes 1 inch further in the tripples it's like going 2inches smaller on the tire and you will keep some ground clearance for the fork legs.

thanks... so am I to Assume no one makes an after market 10" wheel that will either fit the triz forks? And theres no other 10" front wheel set up off another trike that will be a direct bolt on?

its not so much of a clearance issue, its that it looks funny with a big ol' 24" tire in the front and two 18" tires on the rear...lol I figured I could get a 21" or 22" tire for the front but it seems they are only made for 10" rims and not the 12" rim that the tri-z has...

Your right czac no one makes a 10 for the triz because if you look where the caliper is mounted on the fork leg it makes it just about impossible

I bought 2 10in wheels from Xowner for my Tecates. I have also his wheels for the 70. I highly recommend his rims!!!

does he do front rims?

Yes and they are quality items at a good price.
you will have to pm him or keep a look out for 10" wheel group buy
But you will need to do other front end work to get them to fit tri z
