Was looking around on the site couldn't find anything about this. I am considering trading out the front end on my M2 for that of an XB. I don't have a XB wheel in front of me so I can't do the measurements myself. Does anyone know if a M2 rear wheel can be swapped out for one off of an XB?

I'm more concerned about the spacing and the wheel bearing size. Also if there is an offset for the disc on the XB Rotor and if the bolt spacing is different. I'll be replacing the whole front end so I'm not worried about the front just the rear.

What size is the rear m2 wheel? Im assuming that they would work together just fine if they are the same size. But then again I don't own either a Xb or a m2 so my word isn't 100 pct. but I'm sorta wondering if you would even have to change the rear wheel if it is the same diameter of the Xb.
Edit: after posting I realized that hey you would want the 2 rims to match maybe? Lol so It's officially out of my league my only thought would be maybe maintenance manual for the Xb might have the information you need on the rear wheel if no one can help you here

This came up recently
the short answer is yes

spacers and watch the tire profile

swaps that have been done include wheels swing arm, and front clip complete with wheel

IDK if you can mix & match front wheels as the XB series have the ZTL brakes and mounting caliper carriers would be a pain

search joesbuell, and goldtooth

Rear XB wheel is worst part of the XB line.
Two bearings instead of three (Until 2010 redsign)
Water gets in.

The front wheels on the XBs with the fancy ZTL brakes are sweet though.
