    Hi! I have a WR 300 2010. I bought a set of Motardwheels from a KTM 525. The only thing i had nto do was to make new alloy spacers to get the rim centered. I have the drive onn the opposite side, but it´s just to turn the wheel. In fact, the only thing you have to measure is the width of the hub where the sprocket and brakedisc aligns. The difference between my standard rear wheel and the one for KTM was just 2mm, and as the caliper is floating this will take care of that. Many people think they have to buy a specific wheel for just heir model, but as long as the axlehole is right and the width of the hub is right you can use many wheels. Just make your own spacers.The guy i bought mine from had them on a Honda CRF 450!

    i have wheels off a sm125 (husky) but have not tried them yet, i would guess 99% definitly that they would fit as swing arms are the same and forks brakes etc are interchangable. will let you know when i try it!

    Husky makes SM wheels for that bike. Finding cheap SM wheels is not really going to happen. Plan on 1000-1400 to get it going.

    About any rear SM husky wheel will fit but might have a to wide rim. The front should also fit but you might need an axle and spacer from the right bike. i suggest you call Taskys Meteric Cycle, they hooked me up with the set for me TE610.

    thanks for all the help.
    now i called my local husky dealer and they advised i could fit a 3.50 front and a 4.25 rear
    ive located some off a husky 450 with the same size spindle and i assume im going to have to get some spacers fabricated .does anyone know if i will have disc and caliper issues?

    If you go with the big 320mm SM brakes you will need a caliper relocation bracket. Spacers should be stock ones, you just need the right stock ones. You also might need a axle from an SM with the different step in it. I did for my 610.

    - BTW, sorry for the Taskys suggestion, i did not see you were in the UK at the time. Doh!

    Hi again, my Husky friend! My wheels came with a 320mm disc that was 5mm thick. After some measuring i found out that it´s not going to work with the standard caliper. It will be difficult to make a relocationplate for it, and the caliper is too tight for the thick disc. It almost rub the caliper and the diameter is also wrong. You can´t get disc as deep in the caliper as you should, so i choose to use the standard disc for now, and maybe buy a kit with caliper and brake lever later. The only thing is that i change wheels often because i ride everywhere! Woods, ice, gravelroads and street with cut slicks, so i want to have a caliper that works for it all.There is 4mm thick discs available if you want to try it out. One other thing: You have to measure the width of the hubs on the 610`s wheels so you know they are the same width as yours! Measure between the inside of the sprocket and inside of the disc. Good luck!

    Johnny.
