Hey! I have a 2018 CRF250R and wanna change out the ugly silver rims. Was curious if the wheelsets are compatible with any other years so I could save a few $'s and get some off craigslist. For example 2015 Rims/Hubs/Tires on my 2018.

Not 100% sure but I believe it is. Only thing I would be afraid of is the axle sizes. But you could probably look up a part number for, a say 2015, and then one for your bike and see if there is any difference. Also maybe call a Honda dealership shop

Front wheels are the same from like 01. Rear hubs are the same from 13-18 450 and 14-18 250, you can use the older rear hub but with a sprocket spacer

Awesome! So if I buy a wheelset off a 2014+ it's bolt on good to go? No spacers, no axle issues?

This is spot on! Fronts are identical while the only difference between OE 250/450 rears would be the 1.85" 250F rim and 2.15"450F, but if you're swapping to black you'll be upgrading either way. Regular DID Dirtstars are actually quite good for the price, btw. As always, don't forget to triple check those sprocket bolts once assembled Cool

Can I run a size 18 inch rim on my 2018 crf250R ? Or is that not good for the size because the actual rim size is 19 not 18 but could I run the 18 because I'm looking to buy these really nice red rims for the bike.

Does anyone know which models this will fit?

Clearly a Honda CR or CRF front wheel 21x1.6.

Just picked this up in a trade and I am not familiar with fitment.

1995-Current 2T and all 4T for fitment. Front disc sizes have changed, of course, but bolt mounting pattern remains the same
