Hi all,

What year of a rear wheel can I use on the back of my 1991 500?
Also,  what are the differaces?
With all the knowlage on this site I am sure you guys will help alot when I am searching for an extra
rim for a paddle tire.
I`m not too lazy, but I`ld rather change a wheel that a tire when I want to go to the sand.

Thanks

wait, still want to know if a 250 or 125 rear wheel will work.
I think they might be cheaper to get off ebay or a simalar site.

only catch to 88 is the rotor bolt pattern is wierd. all the small axle 125/250 wheels will work as well. the 125 will have a skinny 1.85 wide wheel vs the 250/500 having a 2.15.

it doesn't take much trouble to use a 89-99 cr rear wheel.
