Does anyone know if the Honda 450 wheels will work on a Honda 400?

[cdalejef]

The 450R wheels are the same as the 400ex wheels.

[Chino886]

I was just making sure, I took my Douglas wheels off last night and put the stock 450 wheels on last night and there was some play on the bolts, is that normal?

[cdalejef]

The OEM wheels use a tapered lug nut which must be used when using OEM wheels to center them on the lugs.

[Chino886]

Thanks Jeff, can you tell me a little about toe in, camber adjustments, I just want to make sure it is right before I ride on it.

[cdalejef]

Set your toe in to around 1/4". You can only adjust camber if you have aftermarket a-arms.

[Chino886]

Hey Jeff,

What do you mean by 1/4"? I have Laeger's A-Arms so I believe I can adjust the camber. What are the tires supposed to look like with compressed vs. non-compressed shocks?

[cdalejef]

Thats how much your wheels need to be toed in.
Not sure what you mean by "What are the tires supposed to look like with compressed vs. non-compressed shocks?"

[Chino886]

Thanks for you help Jeff, How long would it take to get some tires shipped out? To Missouri?

[cdalejef]

It depends on which ones you want. If I have them in stock it will only take 2 days.

[Chino886]

I was looking for a good overall tire, mainly for dirt track, possible XC. What do you recommend for a good price? I need them to go on a 10x8.

[cdalejef]

What do ya mean by dirt track? flat track? 8" or 10" rim?

[Chino886]

Sorry about that, MX. I have 10" rims.

[cdalejef]

If your really set in stone on running the 10" rims (not a good setup for anything but flat track) then I'd go with the 20x11-10 Kenda Klaw for hard pack tracks or Kenda Knarly XC for softer tracks.

[Chino886]

How much are the Kenda Klaw? What about with some 8" Douglas 190s?

[cdalejef]

If your going to run MX and XC than I would recommend 9" wheels.

[Chino886]

How much for a 9" Kenda combo?

Do you know how to machine out a new bolt pattern in a wheel, or do you know anyone that does?

[cdalejef]

Any machine shop with a tree mill can do that for ya.
