    If you can find an 18 inch rim in the width that you want, generally its just a matter of milling out some different spacers for the hub and axle.



    Then you need to figure out if anything needs to be done for the rotor diameter and carrier offset... either with a spacer between the hub and rotor or a rotor carrier with a different offset.

    It just takes some measuring, milling and fitting.

    agreed... however it seems 18" front is an odd size.

    maybe theres stuff out there i don't know about. anyone know of a front 18" (preferably yamaha) wheel thats 3" or greater wide?
