Thread: Looking for 8" ATV Wheels

    Default Looking for 8" ATV Wheels

    Any one know of a source for the 8" ATV wheels with the welded brake disk tabs that came with Model IVs in the 1990's? Used OK

    I don't think there is a source for the wheels prepared for the matco brakes. They were standard 8 x 6 Douglas ATV wheels with 3 aluminum blocks welded on and machined to accept the brake disc. Unless you find someone with a used set, you would need to do these modifications yourself or take the wheel to someone who can do the modification.

    Thank you, JB. I am hoping someone did or will do an upgrade and will want to sell their 8" wheels.

    I too am on the lookout for a prepped set of 8" wheels. Any others out there?
