Machined machines has the wheels. You usually swap out the brakes. They can't use the old ones. Won't fit.

If you have a short case engine, 12 ain't gonna fit. Most 50cc 4t bikes that come from the factory with 10" wheels are short case. You'll need to measure the distance between the rear output shaft and the back of the engine case. if it's 9.5", you're stuck with tens unless you swap out the engine for a long case. So you have measurements, here's links to both engines:

Even if on 12 inch rim u use a a tire with really small sidewalla?

What about if a guy wanted to put a fatty tire on 10 inch rim what's needed or place to go

[fugaziiv]

The lowest profile 12 out there is the Kenda K433 100/60-12

This tire is still a bit taller than the standard shortcase 3.50-10 tire, so I don't think it's gonna work.

As far as fatty conversions, we don't get into those so I don't have much advice there. Once again however, unless you really stretch out that rear tire on a wide wheel, I suspect on a shortcase engine you may run into clearance issues. I'm sure someone else can drop in with more info on this.

I’d check to see if they even make a 10’’ fatty wheel. And if they did, I’d ask if it’ll work on a short case. the width of the wheel does lower the profile, but you never know.
