Just go to a bearing catalog and compare ODs and IDs

I don't think the rotor has Tue same offset either.  I'll measure it when I do.a.tire.change soon.  I've got a yz250 front rim on my drz. Rotor pattern was the same but the width of the yz setup.was different.  They are cheap though and if you have to make spacers anyways it would be nice to stick with a drz rotor.

Rotor diameter and correct offset are all you need.  I'm running SV rotors (4.5mm thick) in DRZ calipers, no prob.

I was just pointing out that you told the poster the RMZ and DRZ hubs are the same except the speedo drive when they are definitely not.  4 bolt rotor, different size axle, different width on the hub etc.  I run a yz250 dirt wheel on the front of my DRZ S and except for making the spacers(yz forks are closer together) it was an easy swap.  The rotor bolt pattern is the same so you can use an S rotor or a yz rotor.  The rmz is the only one i know that has a 4 bolt rotor.  yz250 wheels are cheap. rmz ones are more expensive.  Why have to go through the headache of finding bearings, making spacers, getting the right diameter rotor etc when the yz rim uses the drz rotor?

rmz hub.

Oh, didn't know that.  Thanks, always nice to know the alternatives.  Cuts down the useless parts storage.
