18" rim on DT 175 MX Front hub?

[busyeddie]

i would like to build an 18 inch front wheel for my DT to use some road tyres I have, and was wondering what rims would fit, I have learned that you cant just chuck any old 36 hole rim on because the angles are different due to hub diameters etc.

Does anyone have any ideas??

Cheers

Yes I have, I.just fancied something different to be honest. Sort of flatracker, sort of supermoto. I'll still have my standard wheels for when.I want to get it dirty. I could have a new rim drilled, but funds wont allow that!

Will a front wheel from another yamaha fit such as a YB 100 like this one.

A mate and I were discussing that, unsure of spindle brake, and width measurement. Be nice to just find a rim that laces up with a dt hub.
