7 inch wide front tire??

[longboardnj]

anyone run a 7 inch wide front tire???i have a 250sx that i want to run a 22 or 21 inch tall 7 inch wide front tire on a 10 inch rim..anyone run this or know how it works/rides??? please let me know what you think...

the smaller the tire the less rolling resistance youll have.should look cool too

thanks i think it will look cool too ...the only prob i see is i may nose dive in the mud with the skinny tire .. alot of sporty honda trikes run 8 inch wide stock so i dont think it will be too bad.. the thing is i have alot of extra 7 inch wide tires left over from my quads..so id like to use them..just wanted some help/opinions on the idea

my friends used to do tha exact same thing, he ran his old frint tires off his 660r on the front of his 200x cant remeber if he used a diff rim or whatever but it worked great for him

thanks looks like a good idea.. i see a post on people buying a 10x6 rim to get rid of there 11inch rim so it looks like others want to do the same thing..the only thing i was thinking of a 10x5 wheel and maybe a 21x7x10 tire up front and leaving on my 22 inch rears...i wanted some opinions cause i cant find any pics of a set up like this...

if your going muddin all the time keep your 22's.but i like a smaller tire on the rear.18 is the biggest ill go.

I was thinking to do the same thing to my 250SX, but what are you going to do for a wheel and the offset.

[longboardnj]

i think the front wheel is 4/110 (tell me if you think im wrong but i put a rear 250r rear rim on and the bolts seemed to line up) the inside/break side has 5 inch space to fork and the out side has a 6 inch space to fork so i ordered a 4/110 2+3offset 10 inch wheel...what do you think??

[skinne44]

Post a pick when you get it mounted, what brand wheel did you go with and where did you get it.

[longboardnj]

any brand should fit i used a steel wheel but 4/110 2+3offset 10 inch wheel fits 86 250sx great.. 2.5 inch space on each side of rim to fork..
