Any tips on a 10 inch front wheel?

[3WheelsForever]

Hey guys Ive decided to switch to a 10 inch front wheel on my 426. Im having trouble finding a 10 inch aluminum front wheel with no offset. Any idea where I can find one?

derrick was gonna order a few from mitchell(douglas).i guess the will special make them but they are only 7 inches wide,rather then 8

No, they're only 6" wide. Jason Hall is working on an idea for a 7" wheel, too.

My biggest concern is that the tire isn't going to be wide enough to turn the trike. But it can't be any worse than the one I have.

If you do a search on the 10" front wheel you'll find the actual part number Douglas has assigned to it. I'm going to order 2 of them, but not in too big of hurry since MX is over till spring.

Thanks guys, I just bought a new swinger, and new tires all around. Ill be running a 20 inch Kenda Klaw MX Front along with Kenda Knarly MX Rears. Ill be making an aluminum front hub for it as soon as I get the wheel. Should be Sweet!

Very interesting?
What is the benefit you expect from this change.
I wonder how many we would have to order to get something like a RazorII in23x8-11?

What we all want from the 10" wheel is tire selection. Mainly for me is a shorter tire. I plan to run longer dirtbike forks for more travel and strength, but want to keep the ride height close.

Im pretty sure you can get one thru Jims Sandtoys

I know on the 250r you might have to grind a little off the caliper to get it on.

Im hoping to benifit from several things on this swap. The 10 inch rim is for more tire choices, the inverted forks from a dirt bike will get me more suspension travel and be stronger, and the aluminum front hub is for weight reasons.
