I have read alot on hear about rear wheel sizes stock up to 6.0 inches, and some of the problems that they incure. I am getting a D & G 8" over swingarm and would like a 5' rim setup so I can use the MT slick, is there any difference between 5' rims or will any 5' rim work?
Thanks for any help.

if the axle size is the same then you just have to make spacers to center it and align the sprockets

Thanks for the help, so I guess any rim thats 5" will work Honda, suz, kaw, Yamaha as long as the axle is the same. Could you also make bigger holes in the swingarm for bigger axle if you had to.
