I was thinking about getting a set of colored tires for my bike and I've got a problem. The place that sells them has front tires that'll fit my bike (80/100-21), but they don't list my rear tire size (120/100-18). Can I swap my 18" rim/spokes for 19", without any problems? What size rear rims do the newer 500's use?
-
Unless I am wrong, the 19 is the stock rim for the 500. My 92 500 is 190/90 19

I was looking for those color tires yesterday myself and came across a conversion chart. I will see if I can dig it up an post it.

My 87 has a 18" rear wheel on it, if it was a 19" I'd be good to go. Do the 88-up 500's run a 21" front wheel?
-
I talked to those guys today and was told that the kawie green tires have been discontinued! d**n, I wish I could scored some before the dumped out on the green ones! :-P :-P :-P :evil: :evil: :roll: :roll:

I just looked at my post and releazed that I wrote 190 for tire width (opps) I mean 120. I dont think I would be to happy with a 190 in the woods, of course neather would my swingarm

Yes from 87-04 the bike ran 21inch front wheel, 87 came stock with 18inch rear. If you run in rocky condition I would keep the 18 rear.
-
I would also add that the 18" wheel has more options on paddle tires. have a 560X18 Paddle tire for my spare dune tire and it is a monster! :-D :-D

I ride alot of snowmobile trails where I live, they are made of gravel and sand. If I can switch to a 19" rear rim I'm going to, I like the camo tire idea. Can I mount a 19" rim and spoke kit on my rear wheel hub?
-
the people behind you wouldn't like that either!
