Wheel fitment help

Hi all,

Bit of a vfr noob question but...

Are VFR400 rear wheels exactly the same as RVF400 rear wheels? (apart from the fact they are 18")

Could you take a RVF rear wheel and put it onto a VFR with original VFR wheel nut and 'washer'?

What about RC30 wheels? I think they directly fit VFR's but require a new wheel nut??

The reason i am asking is because I am trying to source some new PVM wheels and want to know if I order a RVF set they will fit my VFR.

RVF and VFR wheels mount identically to eachother. I ran an RVF wheel on my VFR for a while and never had an issue. If you are having difficulty getting PVM's sorted, I'm selling my white RVF rear (just recently powdercoated)

Thanks viper_biker, i'll keep that in mind.

Harris just said they dont supply PVM wheels for the RVF.
Cast Dymags on the CSA site come to a total of 1800 quid delivered! Ouch!

Does anyone know what RVF/VFR wheel width's are for definate?

RVF
R17 x 3.5"???
R17 x 5.5"???

My RVF wheel is only 10% of that cost.

Neo is correct on the width, 4.5 inch rear.
