    Any one know if this wheel will fit a 125 SP?
    Here is a picture of a 50 and a 125 new shape wheel.
    I have heard rumours that they will fit if you add a spacer?

    tbh i think the offset is the other way round, so it wont need a spacer, it will need the back of the wheel an the hub machined.. just try it out. see how much further over the wheel is ether direction (if atall)

    I've seen a runner 125 with the new wheels on, not sure on sizes or mods though, not too common to be done. (also not sure if on fx or sp)

    ah right well it was the nrg rims i was thinking of putting on a runner, the old shape ones seem to go on well so i cant see any reasone why the new shape ones shouldnt go on with a bit of a play

    The Runner 125 SP have a 13" rear wheel.
    The new style Runner have also a 13" rear wheel, but it has a 14" front wheel.
    Front wheel 120/70-14
    Rear wheel 140/60-13

    The 3 spoke 13" NRG rear wheel will NOT fit a 125 SP. I have tried.

    I've been having second thoughts although tempted to buy a set when I get a runner again and try it, worth a try ent it? If I had a runner right now I'd try it, but yeah Kyle, I now remember it was on a VX, so I reckon it will fit VX but not the SP's.

    Someones gotta try it though ;)

    Yepp. The "old" 50 runner/nrg have the same engine as the new 50 runner/nrg, so that is obvious :D
