Hello There,
not sure where to post this Question

I have an opportunity to purchase some wheels off of a 999R forged aluminum

and am wondering if they will fit on my 95 900SS which has a 996 SBK front fork set up

thanks

unlikely... iirc, the 999 superbike axles are larger, the swingarm spaces the wheel differently, and the R brake rotors have a different offset....

Also 999 rotors = 5 bolt

996sbk = 6 bolt

i have had guys reach back and grab my crotch in an attempt to get around me. i'll either blow in their ear or ask them politely to let go of my wang.

AND, 999 rotors are 15mm offset, 916 rotors are 10. 

To my knowledge, there are no 5 bolt (999-1098) 10mm offset rotors, they are all 15mm now.

Let me know please if you decide to pass on the wheels.  I need a forged 999 wheel for the front (bolt on s4r/s4rs w/5 bolt rotors)
