Rims on a 250SX.. what else fits?

[nouseforaname90]

So I'm looking into getting some rims for my SX. Douglas' or whatever I can find. What rims from quads would fit the SX/be the same size as the stock SX rims? I found a pair of 400EX Douglas rims on eBay and I was just wondering if they would fit. Front and/or back?

Remember there is a brake drum behind the right wheel so I wouldn't go smaller. What size are the rims?

[nouseforaname90]

Hmm crap. I believe they are 9's. The tires are 20-10-9.. so doesn't that mean the rims are 9's?
Are stock SX rims 11?

[Tri-ZNate]

sx rims are 8". 22x11x8. 22"=diameter, 11"= width, 8"= rim size. Make sure it has the same bolt pattern as the SX too otherwise it wont bolt up.

Whats the SX's bolt pattern? These ones have a 4 bolt pattern as well, but how do I know if they will be right width apart?

[200xman]

Both the 400EX and the 250SX are a 4 on 110 mm bolt pattern. The 9" ITP rims that were on my 350X(also 4 on 110) fit my SX perfectly.

8" aluminum wheels will not fit over the brake drum.

Why? Will 9's?

My dad has a 250SX with bent up rear rims, we tried to put stock 85 ATC250R rims on back and they wouldn't clear the drum. ???

I don;t see any reason a 9 inch from a 400 ex won't work. I run 10x10 douglas wheels on my big red and the stock big red rims are 9 inch. As far as I know the rear brake drum is the same. Almost all the hondas use a 4x110 bolt pattern except the smaller ones and rally clasic ones.

Pay attention to back spacing the last thing the 250sx needs is to be thinner.

They have rims designated "large bell" to accomodate those machines with drum brakes housed inside the rims. Some regular 9" will not fit. Others will.

Crap. Well badpig is selling two sets of rims and paddles. One is on Douglas blue rims, and the other on steel rims. Would either work?? I was very interested in the Douglas'.. but it'd suck if they didnt work.
