Greetings:

Someone should verify, but I'm almost certain the '87 Aero rims were 1.85s. ??

I know my se50 came with 1.85x10 tube type rims. Maybe it is a paint code difference for the part numbers. I think the Aero has a little darker rim although it has been a while since I matched them side by side.

I just verified that the Ruckus rim is 10x3.00.

Hey Mouse would it be possible to add columns for TG50 and NN50 Gyros?

You are right B3. I double checked during lunch and realized that I was thinking about the shipping dimensions :oops:

Front rim part number for the '85-'87 Aero {44650-GR2-000ZA} is shared with the '83-'84 Aero and '84 NN50 Gyro. My '87 Aero had 1.5" rims front/back. Bradthree has a 1.5 on his '84 Aero, and the NN50's are 1.5".

Was there a 'Flash" with 1.5 rims too? http://www.hondaspree.net/phpBB3/viewto ... &hilit=rim

All - thanks for the check on the table, Ruckus wheel. Will get Gyro info added.

Can you run 2.5"x10.0" inch tubes with 2.75"x10.0" tires?

The last set of IRC tubes I had said they were for both 2.50/2.75 tire sizes

We can now add Ruckus rims to fit. This one is a dio style rim for Ruckus that is 3.00 wide. Clearance is tight but works great none the less. Motor is from an 84 Aero and the tire I'm using is a 90/90 IRC.

Take notice of the washers needed to space out the muffler for the larger 3.00" rim.

How's the pipe fitment with the washers? Watch for cracking around your mounting flanges

The stock muffler fitment is pretty tight. I used 4 washers between the exhaust mount and the engine block. I didnt have to bang anything into place but it definetely took a little more effort than stock.
