I know to some people all these front trike rims look a like. So, I was hoping a well trained eye could tell me what this one fits. I think it is a ten incher.

Hey Lonesome,

Measure the diameter of the rim to be sure it's a 10", then measure across the bolt circle(center to center across diagonally, if you can go outside of one hole to inside of the other and that will give you the Center to center in inches), then take your dimension and either divide it by 0.0393700787402 or multiply it by 25.4 and you will get the bolt circle. From there you could probably be able to go to find an atv rim website that you can search by bolt pattern and deduct from there which type of atv it came from or what it will fit. Sorry about the 0.0393700787402, I think its a cruel joke Engineers play on younger aspiring enginers, I have it beaten into my brain to convert from inches to mm

EX: 5-5/16 = 5.312

5.312/0.0393700=134.925mm(135) or 5.312 X 25.4=134.925mm(135)

I know it's more leg work but atleast it would be exact on what it fits rather than assuming, you ask 5 guys to look at it and you might get 5 different answers. Hope this all helps. Oh yeah, I don't know what it fits.:p
