Setup Recommendations For Your Bike:
- Fork Guard Clearance:
Fork guards will need to be slightly trimmed near the edge of the tire, to prevent rubbing. - Front Brake Line Routing:
When bolting the caliper back on with the new 320mm rotor, it's best to route the brake line on the inside of the fork leg to avoid any outside impact. This can prevent the line from being ripped off and ending your ride or race. Carefully route the line by positioning enough slack on the caliper side of the brake line clamp to allow the line to sit directly between the rim and the rotor. Avoid letting the line sag or sit loosely. If necessary, you can secure the line to the inside of the fork guard by drilling small holes through the guard and zip-tying the line in place. See picture for example. - Rear Tire Fitment For Rim Size:
The 17x4.25" rear wheel size will receive a 150 tire, while the 17x5" gets a 160 tire. - Tire Clearance from Chain & Swingarm:
The actual width of a tire can vary, regardless of their named size. For the best clearance when going with the 5"/160 option, you can run tires like Michelin 2CT, Metzeler M7RR, Pirelli Diablo, and others that are close to their named size. These tires run fairly true to size so they still fit in the swingarm (still a tight fit). However, tires like the Dunlop Q series and some offroad-oriented tires like Avon Trailrider are much wider than their called out size, so if you want to run one of those then it's best to stick with a 4.25"/150 option. - Avoiding Chain Rub On Rear Tire:
It's highly recommended to run a Chain Block on most any RM/RMZ due to the tight clearance between chain and rim/tire.
If you plan to run a 17x5.00" with 160 tire, the Chain Block is absolutely critical to avoid chain slap and a greasy tire. Proper installation of the chain block with the wheel positioned further in the back of the swingarm will provide just a couple millimeters of clearance on either side of the tire. This is as tight as it gets and just barely works! - Colors & Cleaning:
White and lighter colors are harder to keep clean, as well as matte finishes. Powder coat finishes are smooth and can be easier to clean. All finishes can be damaged by brake cleaner and other harsh chemicals! Dish soap in a spray bottle is a great option, but no matter the cleaner, always rinse parts right away.
Please note: These wheels are built to order. Some orders may take extra time to complete.

PRE-PURCHASE SELECTION TIPS
Tires & Rear Rim Choice: What fits the swingarm?!
The type of riding you plan to do, as well as the tire model you want in your conversion kit, will both affect deciding the rear rim size. This is because some tires are much wider than others, so they can interfere with the tire causing chain slap on the tire and possibly rim. Read about the rim sizes below to see which size might suit you best, as well as which tire models fit the best.
- The 17x4.25 rim size will come with a 150 rear tire and this is great for nearly every street supermoto rider, and is still great for the occasional track day. With this selection, you can pick any of the tire options and still have good room between the chain and tire/rim. However, there are a couple tires that aren't offered in a 150, so watch for tire models that note this size restriction. This size also offers the easiest installation and removal for quicker wheel changes.
- The 17x5.00 rim will come with a 160 rear tire. This combination is a good upgrade if you are a more advanced rider, someone who wants to do more trackdays, or if you are an aggressive rider in general and want more traction. This rim size also sets you up if you decide to race on track in the future, because the supermoto-specific slicks are all sized for at least a 17x5.0 rim size. Keep in mind that some 160 tires are a lot wider than others, so they'll either have really bad chain run or just not even fit in the swingarm. With this size selection, avoid the dual sport type tires from Avon, Continental, and Shinko, as well as the super wide Dunlop street tires.
- Avoiding Chain Rub:
If the chain is within 6mm or 1/4" from the tire, you may want to order a TMR Chain Block. Definitely add the Chain Block when configuring your conversion if you are selecting the 17x5.00" rear option. This will prevent the unsightly chain rub on your tire and wheel, as well as prevent chain grease from getting on your tire.
INSTALL TIPS
- Fork Guard Clearance:
Fork guards will need to be slightly trimmed to provide extra clearance for the edge of the tire, as well as the larger brake rotor. - Front Brake Line Routing:
When bolting the caliper back on with the new 320mm rotor, it's best to route the brake line on the inside of the fork leg to avoid any outside impact. This can prevent the line from being ripped off and ending your ride or race. Carefully route the line by positioning enough slack on the caliper side of the brake line clamp to allow the line to sit directly between the rim and the rotor. Avoid letting the line sag or sit loosely. If necessary, you can secure the line to the inside of the fork guard by drilling small holes through the guard and zip-tying the line in place. See picture for example. - Colors & Cleaning:
White and lighter colors are harder to keep clean, as well as matte finishes. Powder coat finishes are smooth and can be easier to clean. All finishes can be damaged by brake cleaner and other harsh chemicals! Whichever cleaner you prefer, you should always rinse parts right away. Our friends at Core Moto recommend Lemon Pledge wipes on anodized surfaces for good cleaning without risking damage to the finish.
