i think bandit wheels will be to big tbh, you might be better offf looking at wheels from smaller capacity bikes (jap 250-400 bikes) I have a honda cb1 400 the wheels on that are 3.00 front and 4.00 rear, which gives 110-70/17 and 150-60/17 (fitted with 140-70/17 standard but 150 fits well)which would be a great combo for a 2 stroke moto.

The cb1 wheel also has a big front disc on the right and are three spoke.

No idea which will fit 'out of the box' - anything not too wide will fit if you play about with spacers and different bearings.

wheels from something like a 125 2 stroke sportsbike would be a good idea i think.

Will need quite a bit of work to fit though, and I suspect that as you orgiinally thought bandit wheels, you would struggle to do it.

I was lucky, and someone was selling a bike like mine with a set of super moto wheels he had made for it. The guy who bought the bike, didnt want the supermoto wheels, so I got them.

Came with a front brake and disc from an szr660.

I still havnt fitted them, but might do at some point.

The new derbi gpr? 125 comes with nice wheels, with the same size tyres as a cb1.

I think they run a version of the old yamaha dt/tz engine so the chain will be on the left, some other 125 (aprilia etc) run the chain on the right.

Have you checked how much space you've got in the swingarm ... wouldn't have thought it'd be that much Confused
Any particular reason you want wide wheels, just looks?
