How wide is a 98-99 ZX9 Rear assembly??

I already know this is a subject done to death however as usual my click finger gets happy on feebay and I buy things and then wonder if it will work.

aftermarket swingarm is 9.25 inches wide at the axle 2"over want to put a 98-99 ZX9 rear wheel with 180 tire can anyone tell me what the width of the assembled wheel is? I like the 00-02 6"wheel also.

Am I gonna need a wider swingarm to accomidate wheel rotor sprocket etc... also I have been told the front sprocket with a similar set up is 3/8 offset and looking through the archives I see 5/8 offset I will probably end up clicking on a 5/8 trying to collect the parts when I can get a deal on em

any guidence in this done to death subject is appreciated

?bump...i need the same info,will the 01 wheel work on the 99 swinger? do i need to make smaller spacers or use 01 spacers?

i didnt realize you are using an aftermkt swinger, i will be using an oem 99 zx9r unit

how wide ID is your swingert at the axle that may help me

98-99 ZX9 C has 20mm axles front and rear.
00-03 (or so) has 25mm axle on front, and "I think" 25mm axle on rear.

90-93 ZX11C has 20mm axle front and rear
93-01 ZX11D has 25mm axle front and 20mm axle rear.

77-80 KZ1000 has 20mm rear axle

Thanks That helps next I need to know If The wheel complete with sprocket and rotor will fit this swingarm It is 9.25" wide inside(aprox 235mm) if it doesn't I am going to scrap this project and go Fat tire 230mm or bigger

hey steell, ever time i see your avatar i lose complete train of thought, thanks!

i just learned the hard way that a zx9r swinger is 10+" wide at the pivot point, im so glad i just bought a shock, linkage, rotor, cush, and axle
