Looking to buy a gold rear excel wheel to paddle tire on so I don’t have to swap tires riding dirt or sand. There’s a 10’-13’ rear wheel for a good price but don’t know if it would fit my 04’. Anybody know for sure? Thanks

Yes, a 10’ - 13’ crf250r (1.85) rear wheel will work. 

The crf250r rear wheel changed in 2014, Crf450r rear wheel (2.15) changed in 2013. You can still use those but need a spacer or offset sprocket.

The following Honda’s have same rear wheel compatibility, just double-check 1.85” vs. 2.15” and 18” vs. 19” sizing…

 

2002-2012 CRF450R

2004-2013 CRF250R

2004-2016? CRF250X

2005-2017 CRF450X

The spacer works to put the older wheel on the newer bikes..... not the other way around.   There were some offset sprockets to offset it further out to also put the older wheel on the newer bikes.  But I never saw any sprockets offset to the inside to swap wheels from newer bikes to older bikes.
