    Hi, I have a 2010 WR300 and I've seen a good offer for some 1996 wheels, I know that they're visually different, the HUB is different and the rear disk brake is having more than the 4 screws my 2010 has, but, can I mount them on my bike ? I think maybe the rear would fit OK with the old brake disk but I don't know it the front will also.

    Anyone have some info ?

    Regards.

    The first problem you will have is the axle sizes are smaller on the old wheels.

    They changed in 2002. I think the 1999 rear wheels fit with just a axle spacer change.

    i think the 1996 are totally different.

    Correct R_Little, hubs are different as well as disc bolt pattern and the axle size....l think the width is still the same though?

    the bearings from a 2004 to yours and probably beyond fit the 96 wheel hub, but the problem is you need custom spacers
    i am in the middle of this updated my forks and the wheel won't work so adapting mine

    This might be true on the front wheel but the rear will not work that way at all.
