I just bought a used 2005 Honda 250EX in need of a little TLC. The first major thing it needs is Tires. I found a used set of stock tires and rims from a 2004 Yamaha Blaster on craigslist but I don't know if the rims and tires will fit the 250EX. The sizes of the blaster tires/rims is:
Front-21x7x10
Rear-21x10x8
Will the Blaster bolt pattern match up to the 250EX?

 

im not 100% but i think they will bolt up should be a 4/110 pattern I do a lot of part shopping on ebay and allmost all wheels for the 250x/300ex also list to fit yahama blaster banchiee yfm450...etc....popular lug pattern...ihave a 250x and 300ex if you can comunicate with the seller ask them to measure lug to lug going diagonal across the center of the wheel and do the same to the wheels you have

 

No...Yamaha has a different bolt pattern. Anyway, the stock Blaster tires are just as bad as the stock EX tires. I would just get a set of regular Holeshots, and put them on the stock EX rims.

 

I think I'll just get a set of ITP Holeshots or Razr's. Thanks for the help guys!

 

both nice sets of tires..ive got stockers on my 300ex,and the 22 kenda claws on my 250x
and a pair of kenda 23's for the front ,my 250x is my beater so to speak cus i abuse it like a bad stepchild
this may sound crazy but when i got my 250 it had some worn out turftamers on it ,and i got stuck less,than with my kenda claws the reason is the kenda claws dig faster so I get less trips through the mud holes before there to deep to pass
.
.
I think youll be happy with the razors or holeshots ..I was going to buy razors if u bought my tires..

 

What I'm thinking now is ITP Holeshots in the front and Kenda Claws in the Rear. Sound good for woods riding?

 

sounds great for woods riding,thats whats on my 250x .. hole shots in rear would make it eiaser to drift the corners ,but you should be alble to spin over the kenda claws as well... my 250x did .....are the 250ex shocks adjustible? ..i would like to think they are like the 250x and 300ex shocks wich have 5 adjustments on spring stiffness....I run my 250x and ran the 300ex with the front shocks on 4 and the rear shock on 2 ( 1 being the softest and 5 being the stiffest)
.
running this setting allowed me to lean foward to spin ..sit straight to go..,and lean back to weelie with little effort...I weigh 150 lbs..if you play with the shock adjustments and get a ride like i did youll be in heaven....

 

almost forgot the kenda claws are made to be revirsable for different conditions

 

Does the 250EX come with D.I.D. Rims stock or are they aftermarket? I took the wheels off to polish them and get the tires changed and I saw that they were D.I.D.
