Options for front wheels?

[turbowrenchhead]

I have 9x9 aluminum rims and banshee hubs ordered along with a pair of 20x10x9 artrax tires on there way. I would like to get a set of aluminums for the front. The tires that are on the machine are in pretty good condition. Are the banshee wheels the same as blasters? Or are the bolt patters 4/100 on blaster and 4/115 for banshee for the fronts?

yep, all the yamaha sports use the same front pattern. warrior, banshee, raptors, yfz450, etc.....


i do have to mention that the warrior, shee, raptor, and yfz wheels have rolled lips making them tougher. the blaster does not have this.

 

[turbowrenchhead]

Are any of the other models have a wider offset?

The bolt pattern for the front rims vs. the rear rims is vastly different. The front uses a 4/156 pattern (same as a bunch of other sport quads mainly yamaha, KTM, and polaris stuff)

Someone who has/or tried banshee front wheels on their blaster will need to chime in on that... I got a b*tching deal on a set of ITP aluminum wheels so I never had to go with the "other" option of finding deals on stock parts off other quads. I can tell you that the bolt pattern on a blaster and banshee front wheels are the same. I'm using banshee hydraulic hubs with blaster ITP wheels.

^^^^ right on!

Everything blkblzr01 said is what I have heard and believe to be correct. I can confirm that banshee wheels will fit on a blaster, I was just unsure of the banshee wheel construction.

I've got Warrior fronts. Gained about 2" by flipping them.

i have yfz fronts and would gain like 4 inches per side if flipped,
it completely exposes my calipers, but require flush valve stems with hydro brakes
i think they're 4x1 offset

heres a few shots...............

stock direction.............

flipped...........

Damn AWK, those yfz wheels make a huge addition flipped, but is all that exposed caliper OK? What i mean is have you run into any problems?

i do not run them like that, way too rocky here, guaranteed to bust a caliper with them exposed in the flipped position
i even bought the flush valve stems, but never installed them

Whered you buy them I wanna get a set and flip my fronts cause aren't the fronts supposed to be wider then the back anyways?

Ok, thats what i was thinkin. I ride alot of rougher terrain to and i could see me bustin a few spindles lol. And my terrain aint near as bad as what ive seen from awk mouuntain.

i paid $15 + shipping for the flush mounts, they are here in the original packaging if you'd like them...grab them when your sprocket hub comes in
i'll holler

 

[Larry's Shee]

if you have drum brakes in front you don't need flush stems.

correct, but cruel and i both have hydro's
