no clearance issues, just offset the rim when lacing... 5" fits fine
5" Rear on Yamaha 450?
I know I've seen some discussion here about it, but can't find via search:
What kind of special tricks are required to run a 5" rear on a recent ('03 or '04) Yamaha 450? Specific tire size requirements? Thanks for any info or suggestions.
It will probably be doing more street 'tard work than track stuff for now, but I'd like to do a couple trackdays with it and possibly some club racing at some point. I can do a 4.25" rear, but would prefer to just go for the 5" unless there's a major issue with clearances.

yes, 5" fit the WR's YZ's CRF and KTM's with no problems... No "flipping front sprockets" or "spacing rear sprockets" are necessary... Depending on the profile of the tire you put on it, you may have to adjust the rim over a little more vs. the hub...

Yes... That's the size you would want to run on the 5".
