18" Front Wheel Relace question

[surplus223]

I have an XS1 front drum brake hub. I am wanting to lace an 18" rear rim to it. To get the fat front tire look. What size spokes can i go with or is this a custom made spoke job. Any help will do. I was told that since the front hub is just a bit smaller than the rear I could use rear 18" spokes. But that is NOT the case. Beacause the front hub is about an 1 1/2" larger diameter than the rear.

I ordered a set of spokes for my 19" front wheel from Buchanan a couple months back and they accidentally made a set for an 18" rim. I sent them back. You should see if they still have them lying around.

Thanks JAGspeed I was just getting ready to send them a message.

TX750 has a big drum 18 rear, it's a very tight pattern, I think the rim would have to be custom drilled. If you really want it right send your hub to Buchanons?
