Well i needed new back tires so i went on motosport and it said size 9 rim size would be good for the size so i ordered some 22x11x9 tires from rockymountain and got them than in further looking it up they couldnt fit the wheel. I feel extremely sttupid and i cant find a wheel to fit the tire and the bike. Am i screwed or do i have a way out without spending too much or what? Suggestions would be very much appreciated

 

I first would try to cancel the order. If you goto Specs / Info - Suzuki LT230S Vault it gives you the info and specs on the bike. You might be able do get rims that fit the tire and change the hubs on the quad, but I dont know if itll be to big and hit your plastics. I'm not a pro, just throwing out possibilities. There are a few sites you can buy them on, or even try checking ebay.

 

The rim size is what im afraid.of, the tires will fit and theyre sitting in my garage but i havent tried putting them on, so definitely i need new rims ans hubs?

 

On my LT I switched my axle to a newer one that had a different spline count. I take a 4/110 rim wich let me use rims from my Vinson. I'm sure you could find rims you need then.

 

Rockymountain has a very good return policy. Is this a recent purchase or have they been sitting a while and then you discovered they wouldn't work?

 

Got them yesterday, im going to try returning them or trading them into cyclegear for the.right size thanks for the help, hope i can get this sorted out by the end of tue day

 

Isn't the stock wheel size 9"?
I thought it was on my 93 230E.

 

The tires on it are original and 22x11x10 and before i bought the tire i read 9s work but itt.seems not but i dont know 1986 suzuki lt250r

 

I'm no expert on the lt250R but I do know that my LT230, TRX250R, and Kymco all came with 9" rims.
For some goofy reason factory's like 9" wheels.
Then everyone puts 8" or 10" on.
I have both 8 & 10 inch rims on my R.
Unless your the original purchaser, I'd think someone changed the rims.

 

Theyre original tires and 90% sure they are original rims i cant look up original rim size and the original tire size is 22x11x10
