Hi my WR friends 🤟
Im new here from belgium and complete virgin on any kind of forum. I saw a simular "plugg and play" question in the "specifics" catagory. But im still not so sure.
Riding my WR250X 2010 for 10 years now.
Since i did a kamikaze move with my ktm 450 i was hoping to put some bigger wheels and mx tires on my WR so i can keep sending it in the dirt for now.
Problem is im not sure which one to chose best.
I have checked out the smpro site and warp9, i think the warp9 is most clear where i have a fitting front rim ( 21" 1.60")
Now my question: for the 2010 wrx the site gives me 3 options. (18" 2.15 / 18"2.5 and 19"2.15 ) i wanna go for the biggest, meaning 21"front and 19" rear like my ktm but im not completly sure. Also i guess i should order stock wrx disc brakes and sprockets so i can switch more easy and dont have to adjust the chain to much?
Hope one of you smart gents can help me out.
Btw, amazes me every time how much this 250 engine puts out and what kind of a smooth operator he still is ! Just love that son of a gun
Thanks in advance.
Greetz

Another option is to get the original WRR Yamaha wheels: https://japan.webike.net/YAMAHA/WR250R/Wheels/5906/1094/mc/

The front R disc is smaller; you will need to relocate the front brake caliper when you switch between dirt to SM setups.

I don't see anything on the SMPro site for the WRR. Warp 9 has WRR wheels, but they are more expensive than the OEMs, so why bother?

A 19" rear wheel is not a good idea.

There is no plug-n-play way of switching between WRX and WRR: the front hubs, front brake rotors, front brake calipers, and front master cylinders are all different; at the very least you will have to relocate the front brake caliper every time you switch, but I am not sure if the standard WRX caliper can be moved from its relocation bracket to the fork bracket.

The OEM wheels are in the link I posted previously: https://japan.webike.net/YAMAHA/WR250R/Wheels/5906/1094/mc/

The WRF wheels do not fit the WRR: completely different spacing and axle diameters.
