The big Stark Varg supermoto information topic

Yes, of course and you're right.

I initially considered this set because the wheels are exactly how I would spec them.

Items include:a 3.5*17" front wheela 5.0*17" rear wheela set of spacers & sealsa 320mm black front disca 220mm rear disca silver adapter

But I want a 4.5 in the rear.

Can't say you're wrong either. I would have loved anything in the 4.00 to 4.50 range better.
But well, cheapness won and i figured i could always sell them. Since a beat up set of repainted and dented SM rims for a KTM go for nearly €1000 here in the Netherlands i guessed selling after it didn't fit wouldn't hurt too much. Offcourse i would have to wait until 24MX did away with the pricedrop.

I really like the front, but the rear is so wide you actually need to take the rear caliper of and fiddle around quite a lott to get it in there. Then there is the barelly fitting in between the swingarm and the chain. Didn't really expect that to be so tight.
There is no amount of extra grip a 5.00 160 can offer that offsets that for me.

I have a question about the front brake adapters for SM 320mm brake discs. A standard KTM EXC, or SX adapter work? The front brake caliper positioning is the same as modern EXC/SX models?

Yess they will. MotoMaster also lists the same items for Stark and KTM.
