ct70 wheels on z50r?

i have a 1989 z50r and looking into extending swingarm to +2" and the suspension mods to suit, anyway im looking into getting the 10" ct70 wheels so i can run a more vast range of tires (id run stock 8 x 3.5 rims in a heart beat if they were more practical for my property), would these bolt up alrite to stock swinger and forks and would i be able to run a crf50 front end with them?

any help would be much appreciated,

No. You also would be adding so much more rotating mass to the z. Those things are bricks! Too heavy. Ct70 forks are actually narrower than Z50 forks by about 2 cm. Best bet: Invest in a set of Kitaco 3.50 -10" alum. rims. Use your original hubs. Perfect fit. I think CHP has a set of 10" alum wheels on sale for $100 in their catalog. Probably knock-off Kitaco.

Keep your stock forks. Add HD springs, bushings, +1" fork legs from Fast50's and you will be good to go!

Have done it many times. It works.
