What size rims for my bike??

[Ktmotard]

I'm about to get a Ktm 520 sx that still has dirt tires and rims on it. How do I know whats the best size sm rims for my bike?

if you want to street it you want 17x3.5 front and 17x4.25 rear

Yup......you can sqeeze a 5 in the rear if you really want, but its tight.

Also, you need a front wheel with a 20mm axle. The newer style, '03 and up, have a 26mm axle.

That depends on how much you want to spend.
Can't go wrong with the KTM oem stuff (mmmm....bicolors), or Excels if you don't want to break the bank. I've heard good things about Warp 9 Wheels if you are on a really tight budget.
