I have a rear wheel off a 2008 YZ250F. Does anyone know if it will fit a 2015 YZ250 2 stroke? Are the axels the same?

The axle diameter is the same but the width of the rim is narrower (1.85"), for a 100/90 tire.
The YZ250 has a 2.15" rim for a 110/90.
It would work in a pinch but I wouldn't leave it that way.
If you try to mount a 110 tire on the 250F rim it will squeeze the sidewalls in too much because of the narrower rim.
That will cause traction issues about the same as running the narrower 100 tire.
In 09 the 250f and the 450f went to a larger diameter axle and they will not fit.
