[codeman450er]

Okay, so Im new to this site..I had a 07 honda trx 450er, just sold it but i kept my set of itp pro baja's with razr 2's...I just bought a 08 yfz 450 and the lug patterns are different..Can i take a set of hubs from a honda and swap them to a yamaha i dont know if the splines are the same pattern..If anyone knows it would be a great help and a big save from buying all new rims and tires..thanks!

They'll swap out...

Honda hubs will not fit a YFZ axle. You will have to buy aftermarket hubs to make the rims work. Magic Racing sells a set of Dura Blue hubs for $130.

Hey thanks...too bad i already started bidding on a set...hopefully i lose

I know the front hubs will swap out. Either way it's cheaper to get an axle and sell your old one than buying new wheels. G-Force axle $180, sell your old one for at least $80. You've only spent $100 for a new axle.

So an aftermarket yfz axle or a trx axle?with honda hubs..?

If you're going to use the Honda wheels you have to get the Honda axle to fit them. You'll do more work by swapping brands it seems. Buying the hubs, the axle, selling the old hubs, selling the old axle. The easier way would be to to sale the Honda bolt pattern rims and use some of that money to purchase Yamaha bolt pattern rims. You may come out w/ extra money or you may come out down a few dollars. Simply a matter of what you want to do. I was thinking the axle you have now is an aftermarket. If it's a stock axle you'll be lucky to get $50 for it.
