I have a 1985 200X. My friend gave me Douglas rims that fit my stock hubs. My question is, how do I know what tires will fit my rims? Can someone give me some online stores where I can get tires?

what size rim are they?
you have to find out what size the rim is first then you can look up tires
when your looking up tires the size will appear like this "22x11x8", the first number, 22 is the height, the second number, 11, is the width and the last number, 8, is the rim size, so if he gave u 8 inch rims then any tire with the last number "8" will fit your rim..
your bike came stock with 23.5 x 8 x 11 in the front and 22x11x8 in the back so you will probably want to stick around that neighborhood in tire size..
the best site i have found is www.rockymountainatv.com they have good prices and they have free shipping if its over $100, and tires arent cheap to ship so..
also www.denniskirk.com is a great site, a little steep on some tires but they also have free shipping, and for tires they have the "beat it buy a buck" if you find them cheaper at a different site..
you can also try http://traxms.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=ATV-Products-Tires
and ofcourse you have to decide what type of terrain you will be using them in?
hope this helped
