Looking for some advice on buying rims on ebay. My 99 fe 400 has a 2.15x18" rear rim. is this size universal for all the fe models? Looking to buy another rear wheel to put a dot approved tire on it so that if i want i can ride it to work during the week and save my offroad tire for the weekends offroad. My understanding of the hub is that the hubs are the same inside diameter and you make up for the different axel size with the bearings. is this true? then of course we have the problem of the chain on the wrong side.......LOL when the seller list the rim they usually only list the bike it is off of. i know I would be best to stick with a rim off of a berg, but they are few and far between it seems. does anyone know if any year husky or ktm or any other makes are compatible with my bike. I know there are alot of variables and i hate to make a post everytime i see a rear wheel on ebay asking if it is compatible. so if anyone can give me the specifics on what to look for,it would be appreciated.
