Spare wheels / rims for 06 YZ250

[WIfarmer]

I'd like to get a spare set of wheels for my new 06 YZ250. That way I'll either have a practice set, or studded set in the winter. Could anyone tell me what will all fit. In that I mean will they fit from a 450, 426, older 250, etc... And what years? I'll probably be looking on Ebay so I need to know. Thanks for any help!!!

I believe Yamaha's wheels are the same for YZ 125 through YZ 450. The Yz 250 and 450 have a 2.15 rear rim vs. 1.85 on YZ 125 and YZ 250F. We have YZ 125's, YZ 250F's and YZ 250 and the wheels all interchange.

I have 2 sets wheels that would sell.

1. Excel Billit hubs with excel rims and spline drive spokes. Gold hubs with black rims with brake rotors. $650.00 plus shipping.

2. Rad Billit Hex Hubs with excel rims and Buchanan spokes. Blue hubs with black rims with brake rotors. $600.00 plus shipping.

Man I would love to buy those wheels from you but I'm a little short on $$ right now. I'll keep you in mind though.

Any idea how far back I can go in years and still fit??

At least back to 2004 but probably farther.

front wheel is like 96- current. BUT.... in 2002 they made the hub wider for more stability.

Rear is 99-current.

[WIfarmer]

So an older fron will still fit even though the hub isn't as wide? Would I need new spacers then?

In 99 the rear axle was enlarged so 99 and up on the rear. Remember though that your 250 2-stroke requires a stocker from another 250 2-stroke or a 400/426/450. The 250f and 125 use a smaller rim and tire. The front hub has been the same since before 2000 but the brake rotor was enlarged in either 02 or 03 so for a complete bolt on front wheel you need one of these or newer and any size bike 125-450 is the same. Wheel spacers are also the same since before 2000. I have a set for sale on ebay right now but the back is too narrow for your tire. PM me for my thumpertalk member price.

Matt, didnt they dink around with axle size during this time?

It seems to me if my memory is right that YZ/YZF's around 2002 changed spacers on the rears because Yamaha put shims/spacers on their swing arms (hub side). I think ???
