Narrowing Up A Zilla Rear End...
« on: January 27, 2013, 05:19:52 pm »
Anyone ever try narrowing the rear end of a Zilla?  Thinking the best ways are by offset, or taking material off hubs (Z400)??

Looking to try to take about an inch off total... what is stock Zilla rear end width and what is stock rear offset?
I know width is listed at 47.4", but is that at front or rear, or are they equal?

Get ahold of Pitsandcars he is a member here, he is running a metaltech swingarm with a Banshee carrier, and running a J and J aluminum axle , see the link

if you have offset rims, why not just turn them around?

or put the hubs on backwards.  have to bolt the wheels on first then put the hubs on.  save you an inch or 2.

Will a '87 up 250 carrier bolt into a 500 swingarm?...if so I believe you can use a 230 suzuki axle. Very narrow, but hey,..  I'm not up on all the 250 specs.....

nope it wont fit, 500 is larger

just like sblt said.
just flip the rims or turn hubs around, i have seen it where guys have had the hubs
on the out side of the wheel, guys drag racing.
