Supermoto wheels

Picked up some YZF-R125 wheels for £50 with tyres & discs, both are 17” and just wondering if they will fit on the DT? Can’t be much different to the WRX surely?

They are pretty small right?

Nothing is going to be a straight fit, but they are cool looking wheels a d worth fitting.

A few lads on the old forum have done it and it looked great.

@calum both are 17” I’ve tried searching around but no luck. They should look cool though being alloy

[Calum]

Here he is...

Looked great I thought.

Oh god that looks wicked, I will definitely give it a go! Don’t suppose you know who’s bike it is? Would like some guidance on the install

[Calum]

@ricky0115 Shaunyboy off the old forum. But I don't have any more details than that I'm afraid. I think he was on Yamaha Owners Club as well.

@calum no problem, I have ordered the calipers now so I will have to have a play when they get here. Will keep updated!

@ricky0115 Now that sure looks very unique with those rollers for-sure. If the spindles are the same diameter that's one less problem to solve, but you will have to play around somewhat with washers & spacers to get all of the brake discs, sprockets and chain to line up. You may even have to machine some metal off the hubs in order to get it all in a straight line etc.

@ninja I’m pretty sure the front only needs a caliper bracket, but I believe I will need a custom rear spindle, spacers and instead of machining the rear sprocket putting a space on the front sprocket? Anyone know where I should look at getting these made? I’m in Nottingham. Cheers
